Hi Kees and All, There are several tests in kselftest subsystem which load modules to tests the internals of the kernel. Most of these test modules are just loaded by the kselftest, their status isn't read and reported to the user logs. Hence they don't provide benefit of executing those tests. I've found patches from Kees where he has been converting such kselftests to kunit tests [1]. The probable motivation is to move tests output of kselftest subsystem which only triggers tests without correctly reporting the results. On the other hand, kunit is there to test the kernel's internal functions which can't be done by userspace. Kselftest: Test user facing APIs from userspace Kunit: Test kernel's internal functions from kernelspace This brings me to conclusion that kselftest which are loading modules to test kernelspace should be converted to kunit tests. I've noted several such kselftests. This is just my understanding. Please mention if I'm correct above or more reasons to support kselftest test modules transformation into kunit test.
