💅 kunit_alloc_resource(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this one's about kunit_alloc_resource, and it's literally the resource-wrangling queen of KUnit. buckle up 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

kunit_alloc_resource — Allocates a test managed resource. 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void * kunit_alloc_resource (struct kunit *test , kunit_resource_init_t
init , kunit_resource_free_t free , gfp_t internal_gfp , void *context
);

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• test — The test context object. it's the main character of your test, obviously 👑
• init — a user supplied function to initialize the resource. you write it, you own it 💖
• free — a user supplied function to free the resource (if needed). only if needed, no pressure ✨
• internal_gfp — gfp to use for internal allocations, if unsure, use GFP_KERNEL. lowkey just use GFP_KERNEL bestie 🌈
• context — for the user to pass in arbitrary data to the init function. your little care package of vibes 🎁

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Allocates a test managed resource — a resource which will automatically be cleaned up at the end of a test case. like, it cleans up after itself?? self-care icon behavior fr fr 😭💅

See struct kunit_resource for an example. it ate, honestly.

---

⭐ NOTE ⭐

KUnit needs to allocate memory for a kunit_resource object. You must specify an internal_gfp that is compatible with the use context of your resource. this is not optional, bestie — mismatched gfp = chaos energy 💀
