FWIW I tend not to use that script on my development machine, mainly
because I either have the module built in or otherwise don't have
modules installed in a place modprobe knows about.
Anyway I am not seeing test failures running hmm-tests directly. However
I do observe both the issue of SKIP in FIXTURE_SETUP() being reported as
a pass in the summary, and the infinite loop on ASSERT failure in
FIXTURE_TEARDOWN.
There does seem to be some framework issues here which are causing this
behaviour. Consider the following representitive snippet:
#include "../kselftest_harness.h"
#include <stdio.h>
FIXTURE(test) {};
FIXTURE_SETUP(test)
{
SKIP(return, "skip");
}
FIXTURE_TEARDOWN(test)
{
ASSERT_TRUE(0);
}
TEST_F(test, test)
{
printf("Running test\n");
}
TEST_HARNESS_MAIN
In this case the test will still be run even though SKIP() was called in
FIXTURE_SETUP. The ASSERT_TRUE() during FIXTURE_TEARDOWN results in the
infinite loop. So it looks to me like calling SKIP from FIXTURE_SETUP
isn't supported, and calling ASSERT_*() in FIXTURE_TEARDOWN is also not
allowed/supported by the kselftest framework.
Unlike hmm-tests though the above snippet reports correct pass/skip
statistics with the teardown assertion removed. This is because there is
also a bug in hmm-tests. Currently we have:
SKIP(exit(0), "DEVICE_COHERENT not available");
Which should really be:
SKIP(return, "DEVICE_COHERENT not available");
Of course that results in an infinite loop due to the associated
assertion failure during teardown which is still called despite the SKIP
in setup. Not sure if this is why it was originally coded this way.
