2022-05-12kunit: Rework kunit_resource allocation policyDavid Gow1-27/+115
KUnit's test-managed resources can be created in two ways: - Using the kunit_add_resource() family of functions, which accept a struct kunit_resource pointer, typically allocated statically or on the stack during the test. - Using the kunit_alloc_resource() family of functions, which allocate a struct kunit_resource using kzalloc() behind the scenes. Both of these families of functions accept a 'free' function to be called when the resource is finally disposed of. At present, KUnit will kfree() the resource if this 'free' function is specified, and will not if it is NULL. However, this can lead kunit_alloc_resource() to leak memory (if no 'free' function is passed in), or kunit_add_resource() to incorrectly kfree() memory which was allocated by some other means (on the stack, as part of a larger allocation, etc), if a 'free' function is provided. Instead, always kfree() if the resource was allocated with kunit_alloc_resource(), and never kfree() if it was passed into kunit_add_resource() by the user. (If the user of kunit_add_resource() wishes the resource be kfree()ed, they can call kfree() on the resource from within the 'free' function. This is implemented by adding a 'should_free' member to struct kunit_resource and setting it appropriately. To facilitate this, the various resource add/alloc functions have been refactored somewhat, making them all call a __kunit_add_resource() helper after setting the 'should_free' member appropriately. In the process, all other functions have been made static inline functions.

2022-04-05kunit: split resource API from test.h into new resource.hDaniel Latypov1-0/+318
Background: Currently, a reader looking at kunit/test.h will find the file is quite long, and the first meaty comment is a doc comment about struct kunit_resource. Most users will not ever use the KUnit resource API directly. They'll use kunit_kmalloc() and friends, or decide it's simpler to do cleanups via labels (it often can be) instead of figuring out how to use the API. It's also logically separate from everything else in test.h. Removing it from the file doesn't cause any compilation errors (since struct kunit has `struct list_head resources` to store them). This commit: Let's move it into a kunit/resource.h file and give it a separate page in the docs, kunit/api/resource.rst. We include resource.h at the bottom of test.h since * don't want to force existing users to add a new include if they use the API * it accesses `lock` inside `struct kunit` in a inline func * so we can't just forward declare, and the alternatives require uninlining the func, adding hepers to lock/unlock, or other more invasive changes. Now the first big comment in test.h is about kunit_case, which is a lot more relevant to what a new user wants to know. A side effect of this is git blame won't properly track history by default, users need to run $ git blame -L ,1 -C17 include/kunit/resource.h Signed-off-by: Daniel Latypov <dlatypov@google.com> Reviewed-by: David Gow <davidgow@google.com> Reviewed-by: Brendan Higgins <brendanhiggins@google.com> Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan <skhan@linuxfoundation.org>
