The general case of wanting multiple arguments to an action is a bit complicated. My plan was to initially support just the one argument, and deal with more complicated cases later. Ideas included: - using a struct like you suggest, possibly with some macro magic to make it easier, - having a bunch of very similar implementations of kunit_add_action{2,3,4,..}(), which accept 2,3,4,... arguments, - something horrible and architecture-specific with manually writing out arguments to the stack (or registers) None of those sounded particularly pleasant, though. My suspicion is that the "right" way of doing this is to maybe have one or two helpers for common cases (e.g., 2 arguments), and just suggest people create a structure for anything more complicated, but I'd love a nicer solution. > > It creates a lot of boilerplate, while if we were passing the pointer to > struct kunit we could access the context of the test as well, and things > would be much simpler. For the test context specifically, can you just use kunit_get_current_test()? There might be an issue with using it during the cleanup process after a failed assertion (as if the test is aborted early, the cleanup runs in a different thread), but if so, this should fix it: --- diff --git a/lib/kunit/test.c b/lib/kunit/test.c index e2910b261112..2d7cad249863 100644 --- a/lib/kunit/test.c +++ b/lib/kunit/test.c @@ -392,10 +392,21 @@ static void kunit_case_internal_cleanup(struct kunit *test) static void kunit_run_case_cleanup(struct kunit *test, struct kunit_suite *suite) { + /* + * If we're no-longer running from within the test kthread() because it failed + * or timed out, we still need the context to be okay when running exit and + * cleanup functions. + */ + struct kunit *old_current = current->kunit_test; + + current->kunit_test = test; if (suite->exit) suite->exit(test); kunit_case_internal_cleanup(test); + + /* Restore the thread's previous test context (probably NULL or test). */ + current->kunit_test = old_current; } struct kunit_try_catch_context { --- I'll look into tidying that up and sending it through next week, anyway.
