This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled kunit: bail out early in __kunit_test_suites_init() if there are no suites to test to the 6.8-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: kunit-bail-out-early-in-__kunit_test_suites_init-if-.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.8 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit c6d41d736820d60c7bc1df7c59551a85d667a2ad Author: Scott Mayhew <smayhew@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Mar 21 10:32:00 2024 -0400 kunit: bail out early in __kunit_test_suites_init() if there are no suites to test [ Upstream commit 5496b9b77d7420652202b73cf036e69760be5deb ] Commit c72a870926c2 added a mutex to prevent kunit tests from running concurrently. Unfortunately that mutex gets locked during module load regardless of whether the module actually has any kunit tests. This causes a problem for kunit tests that might need to load other kernel modules (e.g. gss_krb5_test loading the camellia module). So check to see if there are actually any tests to run before locking the kunit_run_lock mutex.
