The commit messages in particular are much clearer, thank you! I've reviewed the various patches and left a few comments here and there, but there's nothing too drastic. I'm pretty happy with this from the KUnit side, but it would be ideal if someone with more knowledge of the hash functions looked over it. Unfortunately, George's email is bouncing, and no-one else has made any particularly major changes to this. My only remaining comment on the tests themselves is that it'd be nice to have them split up further into more, smaller tests. Given that it's a port of an existing test, though, I understand the desire not to change things too drastically. We also need to work out how this is going to go upstream: does it go through the kunit branch (via Shuah's kselftest repo), or directly to Linus (who's handled most of the other recent-ish changes here. Brendan, any thoughts?
