I think that sounds like a good strategy for now, and we can work on a
set of 'generic helpers' which have an associated bus and struct
kunit_device in the meantime. If we can continue to use
root_device_register until those are ready, that'd be very convenient.

Would it be a tiny bit more acceptable if we did add a very simple:

#define kunit_root_device_register(name) root_device_register(name)
#define kunit_root_device_unregister(dev) root_device_unregister(dev)

to include/kunit/device.h (or somesuch)

This should help us later to at least spot the places where
root_device_[un]register() is abused and (potentially mass-)covert them
to use the proper helpers when they're available.


Great idea.

The code I've been playing with has the following in include/kunit/device.h:

/* Register a new device against a KUnit test. */
struct device *kunit_device_register(struct kunit *test, const char *name);
/* Unregister a device created by kunit_device_register() early (i.e.,
before test cleanup). */
void kunit_device_unregister(struct kunit *test, struct device *dev);

If we used the same names, and just forwarded them to
root_device_register() and root_device_unregister() for now
(discarding the struct kunit pointer), then I expect we could just
swap out the implementation to gain the extra functionality.

It's a little less explicit, though, so I could see the value in using
macros with "root_device" in the name to make the current
implementation clearer, and the eventual change more obvious.

I think it makes sense to avoid the mass-conversions if the signatures for kunit_device_register() and kunit_device_unregister() are expected to be known by now. If there is no objections I'll add those wrappers + the include/kunit/device.h to v6 of this series.

I think I'll try to hold back sending the v6 until next Monday - unless I get really bored during the weekend ;)

Yours,
