KUNIT_ASSERT_GE(9)

💅 KUNIT_ASSERT_GE(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment

okay bestie so this is KUNIT_ASSERT_GE(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's giving "tiny function, big feelings." let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

KUNIT_ASSERT_GE — the assertion that @left is greater than or equal to @right. that's it, that's the whole vibe check 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

KUNIT_ASSERT_GE (test , left , right );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• test — the test context object. your main character struct, basically 👑
• left — an arbitrary expression that evaluates to a primitive C type. (yes, arbitrary — go off 🌈)
• right — an arbitrary expression that evaluates to a primitive C type. (same deal, no cap ✨)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what it does: it sets an assertion that the value that left evaluates to is greater than or equal to the value that right evaluates to. order matters, iykyk 🧚

this is the same as KUNIT_EXPECT_GE, except — and this is the highkey important part — it causes an assertion failure (see KUNIT_ASSERT_TRUE) when the assertion is not met. so like, EXPECT is the chill one, ASSERT is the one that actually stops the whole thing 💀

ngl bestie, read that again: if the check doesn't pass, you get an assertion failure. not a warning, not a lil note in the log — an assertion failure. plan accordingly 🙈
