Is this a problem with kunit tests or a problem with this specific test ?A bit of both, I think. KUnit test cleanup is not guaranteed to run in the same thread as the test, so that definitely is triggering lockdep warnings. On the other hand, we really should make this particular case work in KUnit. Ideally test cleanup will happen on the test thread first, and only fall back to another test if the test thread otherwise aborted. So, this is probably something we won't be able to fix if the test fails, but it definitely shouldn't be happening here where it passes. I'll look into fixing that.
Here is a different warning, from the same test: [ 10.622270] ===================================== [ 10.622346] WARNING: bad unlock balance detected! [ 10.622481] 6.8.0-rc6 #1 Tainted: G N [ 10.622624] ------------------------------------- [ 10.622698] kunit_try_catch/1354 is trying to release lock (rtnl_mutex) at: [ 10.623123] [<ffffd7c5cbdb75cc>] __rtnl_unlock+0x3c/0x84 [ 10.623538] but there are no more locks to release! That seems to be kind of the opposite problem. I noticed this only once in my tests, so it is much rarer than the other warning. Guenter
