I was of a similar mindset initially, which is why I held off on
sending this patch out.
But as noted at the end of the commit desc, literally ~any kernel
output will cause this to happen.
And the whole point of this patch is to show such output, newly unmangled ;)
Secondly, only the kunit_{info,warn,err} logs are indented like this.
I think most test output would be coming from code outside the test
file, i.e. normal pr_info() calls.
But I figured I should still call it out somewhere in this email
though, since it does look a bit strange.
Maybe it didn't need to be as prominently as the commit desc.
Also, I was leaning towards just hiding it via some filtering in
kunit_parser.py, but Rae's reply [1] made me more unsure about which
way to go. So I'm thinking of leaving the lines in there for now.
