ibmveth_remo...om_pool_test(9)
π NAME π
ok so bestie, welcome to the glow-up of ibmveth_remove_buffer_from_pool_test β it's a unit test for some of the stuff that ibmveth_remove_buffer_from_pool does. yes, "some", they said it, not me π
this one lives in the kernel API manual, section 9, and the page title is literally so long it got chopped to ibmveth_remo...om_pool_test(9) in the header π iconic behaviour honestly.
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
void ibmveth_remove_buffer_from_pool_test (struct kunit *test );
that's it. that's the whole vibe. no return value, no drama, just a void and a pointer π«Ά
π ARGUMENTS π

π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
okay so here's the tea β β this test is all about the error returns from ibmveth_remove_buffer_from_pool. like, does it properly bail when things go wrong? that's what we're checking.
but here's the part you CANNOT skip, bestie: ibmveth_remove_buffer_from_pool also calls WARN_ON, so the move is to go check dmesg and make sure those warnings actually showed up. no cap β if you don't look at dmesg, you're not really running the test, you're just pressing buttons π
fr fr, the warnings are part of the test. check dmesg. periodt. π
β RETURN β
