And to the extent that I need to add test mocks to allow the unit tests to work, they will involve changes to existing files in fs/ext4. I can't put them in the ext4.git tree without pulling in the kunit changes into the ext4 git tree. And if they ext4 unit tests land in the kunit tree, it would be a receipe for large numbers of merge conflicts. - Ted
