kunit_test_suites(9)

💖 kunit_test_suites(9) — Kernel API Manual 💖

✨ NAME ✨

Okay bestie, kunit_test_suites is literally the function used to register one or more &struct kunit_suite with KUnit. That’s the whole job. Iconic behavior. 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

kunit_test_suites (__suites... );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• __suites — a statically allocated list of struct kunit_suite. Yes, statically allocated. Keep that energy. ✨

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So it registers suites with the test framework. The way this happens is by placing the array of struct kunit_suite * in the .kunit_test_suites ELF section. Very demure, very mindful, very ELF-section-coded. 💅

When builtin, KUnit tests are all run via the executor at boot. When built as a module, they run on module load. Either way, the tests are gonna do their thing — no cap. 🔥
