Hi,
when running the dev_addr_lists unit test with lock debugging enabled,
I always get the following lockdep warning.

Instrumentation shows that dev_addr_test_exit() is called, but only
after the warning fires.
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.
Other tests seem to have similar problems with locking:
