Writing Tests
=============

Test Cases
----------

The fundamental unit in KUnit is the test case. A test case is a function with
the signature ``void (*)(struct kunit *test)``. It calls the function under test
and then sets *expectations* for what should happen. For example:

.. code-block:: c

	void example_test_success(struct kunit *test)
	{
	}

	void example_test_failure(struct kunit *test)
	{
		KUNIT_FAIL(test, "This test never passes.");
	}

In the above example, ``example_test_success`` always passes because it does
nothing; no expectations are set, and therefore all expectations pass. On the
other hand ``example_test_failure`` always fails because it calls ``KUNIT_FAIL``,
which is a special expectation that logs a message and causes the test case to
fail.

Expectations
~~~~~~~~~~~~
An *expectation* specifies that we expect a piece of code to do something in a
test. An expectation is called like a function. A test is made by setting
expectations about the behavior of a piece of code under test. When one or more
expectations fail, the test case fails and information about the failure is
logged. For example:

.. code-block:: c

	void add_test_basic(struct kunit *test)
	{
		KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, 1, add(1, 0));
		KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, 2, add(1, 1));
	}

In the above example, ``add_test_basic`` makes a number of assertions about the
behavior of a function called ``add``. The first parameter is always of type
``struct kunit *``, which contains information about the current test context.
The second parameter, in this case, is what the value is expected to be. The
last value is what the value actually is. If ``add`` passes all of these
expectations, the test case, ``add_test_basic`` will pass; if any one of these
expectations fails, the test case will fail.

A test case *fails* when any expectation is violated; however, the test will
continue to run, and try other expectations until the test case ends or is
otherwise terminated. This is as opposed to *assertions* which are discussed
later.

To learn about more KUnit expectations, see Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/api/test.rst.

.. note::
   A single test case should be short, easy to understand, and focused on a
   single behavior.

For example, if we want to rigorously test the ``add`` function above, create
additional tests cases which would test each property that an ``add`` function
should have as shown below:

.. code-block:: c

	void add_test_basic(struct kunit *test)
	{
		KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, 1, add(1, 0));
		KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, 2, add(1, 1));
	}

	void add_test_negative(struct kunit *test)
	{
		KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, 0, add(-1, 1));
	}

	void add_test_max(struct kunit *test)
	{
		KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, INT_MAX, add(0, INT_MAX));
		KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, -1, add(INT_MAX, INT_MIN));
	}

	void add_test_overflow(struct kunit *test)
	{
		KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, INT_MIN, add(INT_MAX, 1));
	}

Assertions
~~~~~~~~~~

An assertion is like an expectation, except that the assertion immediately
terminates the test case if the condition is not satisfied. For example:

.. code-block:: c

	static void test_sort(struct kunit *test)
	{
		int *a, i, r = 1;
		a = kunit_kmalloc_array(test, TEST_LEN, sizeof(*a), GFP_KERNEL);
		KUNIT_ASSERT_NOT_ERR_OR_NULL(test, a);
		for (i = 0; i < TEST_LEN; i++) {
			r = (r * 725861) % 6599;
			a[i] = r;
		}
		sort(a, TEST_LEN, sizeof(*a), cmpint, NULL);
		for (i = 0; i < TEST_LEN-1; i++)
			KUNIT_EXPECT_LE(test, a[i], a[i + 1]);
	}

In this example, the method under test should return pointer to a value. If the
pointer returns null or an errno, we want to stop the test since the following
expectation could crash the test case. `ASSERT_NOT_ERR_OR_NULL(...)` allows us
to bail out of the test case if the appropriate conditions are not satisfied to
complete the test.

Test Suites
~~~~~~~~~~~

We need many test cases covering all the unit's behaviors. It is common to have
many similar tests. In order to reduce duplication in these closely related
tests, most unit testing frameworks (including KUnit) provide the concept of a
*test suite*. A test suite is a collection of test cases for a unit of code
with optional setup and teardown functions that run before/after the whole
suite and/or every test case. For example:

.. code-block:: c

	static struct kunit_case example_test_cases[] = {
		KUNIT_CASE(example_test_foo),
		KUNIT_CASE(example_test_bar),
		KUNIT_CASE(example_test_baz),
		{}
	};

	static struct kunit_suite example_test_suite = {
		.name = "example",
		.init = example_test_init,
		.exit = example_test_exit,
		.suite_init = example_suite_init,
		.suite_exit = example_suite_exit,
		.test_cases = example_test_cases,
	};
	kunit_test_suite(example_test_suite);

In the above example, the test suite ``example_test_suite`` would first run
``example_suite_init``, then run the test cases ``example_test_foo``,
``example_test_bar``, and ``example_test_baz``. Each would have
``example_test_init`` called immediately before it and ``example_test_exit``
called immediately after it. Finally, ``example_suite_exit`` would be called
after everything else. ``kunit_test_suite(example_test_suite)`` registers the
test suite with the KUnit test framework.

.. note::
   A test case will only run if it is associated with a test suite.

``kunit_test_suite(...)`` is a macro which tells the linker to put the
specified test suite in a special linker section so that it can be run by KUnit
either after ``late_init``, or when the test module is loaded (if the test was
built as a module).

For more information, see Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/api/test.rst.

Writing Tests For Other Architectures
-------------------------------------

It is better to write tests that run on UML to tests that only run under a
particular architecture. It is better to write tests that run under QEMU or
another easy to obtain (and monetarily free) software environment to a specific
piece of hardware.

Nevertheless, there are still valid reasons to write a test that is architecture
or hardware specific. For example, we might want to test code that really
belongs in ``arch/some-arch/*``. Even so, try to write the test so that it does
not depend on physical hardware. Some of our test cases may not need hardware,
only few tests actually require the hardware to test it. When hardware is not
available, instead of disabling tests, we can skip them.

Now that we have narrowed down exactly what bits are hardware specific, the
actual procedure for writing and running the tests is same as writing normal
KUnit tests.

.. important::
   We may have to reset hardware state. If this is not possible, we may only
   be able to run one test case per invocation.

.. TODO(brendanhiggins@google.com): Add an actual example of an architecture-
   dependent KUnit test.

Common Patterns
===============

Isolating Behavior
------------------

Unit testing limits the amount of code under test to a single unit. It controls
what code gets run when the unit under test calls a function. Where a function
is exposed as part of an API such that the definition of that function can be
changed without affecting the rest of the code base. In the kernel, this comes
from two constructs: classes, which are structs that contain function pointers
provided by the implementer, and architecture-specific functions, which have
definitions selected at compile time.

Classes
~~~~~~~

Classes are not a construct that is built into the C programming language;
however, it is an easily derived concept. Accordingly, in most cases, every
project that does not use a standardized object oriented library (like GNOME's
GObject) has their own slightly different way of doing object oriented
programming; the Linux kernel is no exception.

The central concept in kernel object oriented programming is the class. In the
kernel, a *class* is a struct that contains function pointers. This creates a
contract between *implementers* and *users* since it forces them to use the
same function signature without having to call the function directly. To be a
class, the function pointers must specify that a pointer to the class, known as
a *class handle*, be one of the parameters. Thus the member functions (also
known as *methods*) have access to member variables (also known as *fields*)
allowing the same implementation to have multiple *instances*.

A class can be *overridden* by *child classes* by embedding the *parent class*
in the child class. Then when the child class *method* is called, the child
implementation knows that the pointer passed to it is of a parent contained
within the child. Thus, the child can compute the pointer to itself because the
pointer to the parent is always a fixed offset from the pointer to the child.
This offset is the offset of the parent contained in the child struct. For
example:

.. code-block:: c

	struct shape {
		int (*area)(struct shape *this);
	};

	struct rectangle {
		struct shape parent;
		int length;
		int width;
	};

	int rectangle_area(struct shape *this)
	{
		struct rectangle *self = container_of(this, struct rectangle, parent);

		return self->length * self->width;
	};

	void rectangle_new(struct rectangle *self, int length, int width)
	{
		self->parent.area = rectangle_area;
		self->length = length;
		self->width = width;
	}

In this example, computing the pointer to the child from the pointer to the
parent is done by ``container_of``.

Faking Classes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In order to unit test a piece of code that calls a method in a class, the
behavior of the method must be controllable, otherwise the test ceases to be a
unit test and becomes an integration test.

A fake class implements a piece of code that is different than what runs in a
production instance, but behaves identical from the standpoint of the callers.
This is done to replace a dependency that is hard to deal with, or is slow. For
example, implementing a fake EEPROM that stores the "contents" in an
internal buffer. Assume we have a class that represents an EEPROM:

.. code-block:: c

	struct eeprom {
		ssize_t (*read)(struct eeprom *this, size_t offset, char *buffer, size_t count);
		ssize_t (*write)(struct eeprom *this, size_t offset, const char *buffer, size_t count);
	};

And we want to test code that buffers writes to the EEPROM:

.. code-block:: c

	struct eeprom_buffer {
		ssize_t (*write)(struct eeprom_buffer *this, const char *buffer, size_t count);
		int flush(struct eeprom_buffer *this);
		size_t flush_count; /* Flushes when buffer exceeds flush_count. */
	};

	struct eeprom_buffer *new_eeprom_buffer(struct eeprom *eeprom);
	void destroy_eeprom_buffer(struct eeprom *eeprom);

We can test this code by *faking out* the underlying EEPROM:

.. code-block:: c

	struct fake_eeprom {
		struct eeprom parent;
		char contents[FAKE_EEPROM_CONTENTS_SIZE];
	};

	ssize_t fake_eeprom_read(struct eeprom *parent, size_t offset, char *buffer, size_t count)
	{
		struct fake_eeprom *this = container_of(parent, struct fake_eeprom, parent);

		count = min(count, FAKE_EEPROM_CONTENTS_SIZE - offset);
		memcpy(buffer, this->contents + offset, count);

		return count;
	}

	ssize_t fake_eeprom_write(struct eeprom *parent, size_t offset, const char *buffer, size_t count)
	{
		struct fake_eeprom *this = container_of(parent, struct fake_eeprom, parent);

		count = min(count, FAKE_EEPROM_CONTENTS_SIZE - offset);
		memcpy(this->contents + offset, buffer, count);

		return count;
	}

	void fake_eeprom_init(struct fake_eeprom *this)
	{
		this->parent.read = fake_eeprom_read;
		this->parent.write = fake_eeprom_write;
		memset(this->contents, 0, FAKE_EEPROM_CONTENTS_SIZE);
	}

We can now use it to test ``struct eeprom_buffer``:

.. code-block:: c

	struct eeprom_buffer_test {
		struct fake_eeprom *fake_eeprom;
		struct eeprom_buffer *eeprom_buffer;
	};

	static void eeprom_buffer_test_does_not_write_until_flush(struct kunit *test)
	{
		struct eeprom_buffer_test *ctx = test->priv;
		struct eeprom_buffer *eeprom_buffer = ctx->eeprom_buffer;
		struct fake_eeprom *fake_eeprom = ctx->fake_eeprom;
		char buffer[] = {0xff};

		eeprom_buffer->flush_count = SIZE_MAX;

		eeprom_buffer->write(eeprom_buffer, buffer, 1);
		KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, fake_eeprom->contents[0], 0);

		eeprom_buffer->write(eeprom_buffer, buffer, 1);
		KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, fake_eeprom->contents[1], 0);

		eeprom_buffer->flush(eeprom_buffer);
		KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, fake_eeprom->contents[0], 0xff);
		KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, fake_eeprom->contents[1], 0xff);
	}

	static void eeprom_buffer_test_flushes_after_flush_count_met(struct kunit *test)
	{

		destroy_eeprom_buffer(ctx->eeprom_buffer);
	}

Testing Against Multiple Inputs
-------------------------------

Testing just a few inputs is not enough to ensure that the code works correctly,
for example: testing a hash function.

We can write a helper macro or function. The function is called for each input.
For example, to test ``sha1sum(1)``, we can write:

.. code-block:: c

	#define TEST_SHA1(in, want) \
		sha1sum(in, out); \
		KUNIT_EXPECT_STREQ_MSG(test, out, want, "sha1sum(%s)", in);

	char out[40];
	TEST_SHA1("hello world",  "2aae6c35c94fcfb415dbe95f408b9ce91ee846ed");
	TEST_SHA1("hello world!", "430ce34d020724ed75a196dfc2ad67c77772d169");

Note the use of the ``_MSG`` version of ``KUNIT_EXPECT_STREQ`` to print a more
detailed error and make the assertions clearer within the helper macros.

The ``_MSG`` variants are useful when the same expectation is called multiple
times (in a loop or helper function) and thus the line number is not enough to
identify what failed, as shown below.

In complicated cases, we recommend using a *table-driven test* compared to the
helper macro variation, for example:

.. code-block:: c

	int i;
	char out[40];

	struct sha1_test_case {
		const char *str;
		const char *sha1;
	};

	struct sha1_test_case cases[] = {
		{
			.str = "hello world",
			.sha1 = "2aae6c35c94fcfb415dbe95f408b9ce91ee846ed",
		},
		{
			.str = "hello world!",
			.sha1 = "430ce34d020724ed75a196dfc2ad67c77772d169",
		},
	};
	for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(cases); ++i) {
		sha1sum(cases[i].str, out);
		KUNIT_EXPECT_STREQ_MSG(test, out, cases[i].sha1,
		                      "sha1sum(%s)", cases[i].str);
	}


There is more boilerplate code involved, but it can:

* be more readable when there are multiple inputs/outputs (due to field names).

  * For example, see ``fs/ext4/inode-test.c``.

* reduce duplication if test cases are shared across multiple tests.

  * For example: if we want to test ``sha256sum``, we could add a ``sha256``
    field and reuse ``cases``.

* be converted to a "parameterized test".

Parameterized Testing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The table-driven testing pattern is common enough that KUnit has special
support for it.

By reusing the same ``cases`` array from above, we can write the test as a
"parameterized test" with the following.

.. code-block:: c

	// This is copy-pasted from above.
	struct sha1_test_case {
		const char *str;
		const char *sha1;
	};
	const struct sha1_test_case cases[] = {
		{
			.str = "hello world",
			.sha1 = "2aae6c35c94fcfb415dbe95f408b9ce91ee846ed",
		},
		{
			.str = "hello world!",
			.sha1 = "430ce34d020724ed75a196dfc2ad67c77772d169",
		},
	};

	// Need a helper function to generate a name for each test case.
	static void case_to_desc(const struct sha1_test_case *t, char *desc)
	{
		strcpy(desc, t->str);
	}
	// Creates `sha1_gen_params()` to iterate over `cases`.
	KUNIT_ARRAY_PARAM(sha1, cases, case_to_desc);

	// Looks no different from a normal test.
	static void sha1_test(struct kunit *test)
	{
		// This function can just contain the body of the for-loop.
		// The former `cases[i]` is accessible under test->param_value.
		char out[40];
		struct sha1_test_case *test_param = (struct sha1_test_case *)(test->param_value);

		sha1sum(test_param->str, out);
		KUNIT_EXPECT_STREQ_MSG(test, out, test_param->sha1,
				      "sha1sum(%s)", test_param->str);
	}

	// Instead of KUNIT_CASE, we use KUNIT_CASE_PARAM and pass in the
	// function declared by KUNIT_ARRAY_PARAM.
	static struct kunit_case sha1_test_cases[] = {
		KUNIT_CASE_PARAM(sha1_test, sha1_gen_params),
		{}
	};

Exiting Early on Failed Expectations
------------------------------------

We can use ``KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ`` to mark the test as failed and continue
execution.  In some cases, it is unsafe to continue. We can use the
``KUNIT_ASSERT`` variant to exit on failure.

.. code-block:: c

	void example_test_user_alloc_function(struct kunit *test)
	{
		void *object = alloc_some_object_for_me();

		/* Make sure we got a valid pointer back. */
		KUNIT_ASSERT_NOT_ERR_OR_NULL(test, object);
		do_something_with_object(object);
	}

Allocating Memory
-----------------

Where you might use ``kzalloc``, you can instead use ``kunit_kzalloc`` as KUnit
will then ensure that the memory is freed once the test completes.

This is useful because it lets us use the ``KUNIT_ASSERT_EQ`` macros to exit
early from a test without having to worry about remembering to call ``kfree``.
For example:

.. code-block:: c

	void example_test_allocation(struct kunit *test)
	{
		char *buffer = kunit_kzalloc(test, 16, GFP_KERNEL);
		/* Ensure allocation succeeded. */
		KUNIT_ASSERT_NOT_ERR_OR_NULL(test, buffer);

		KUNIT_ASSERT_STREQ(test, buffer, "");
	}


Testing Static Functions
------------------------

If we do not want to expose functions or variables for testing, one option is to
conditionally ``#include`` the test file at the end of your .c file. For
example:

.. code-block:: c

	/* In my_file.c */

	static int do_interesting_thing();

	#ifdef CONFIG_MY_KUNIT_TEST
	#include "my_kunit_test.c"
	#endif

Injecting Test-Only Code
------------------------

Similar to as shown above, we can add test-specific logic. For example:

.. code-block:: c

	/* In my_file.h */

	#ifdef CONFIG_MY_KUNIT_TEST
	/* Defined in my_kunit_test.c */
	void test_only_hook(void);
	#else
	void test_only_hook(void) { }
	#endif

This test-only code can be made more useful by accessing the current ``kunit_test``
as shown in next section: *Accessing The Current Test*.

Accessing The Current Test
--------------------------

In some cases, we need to call test-only code from outside the test file.
For example, see example in section *Injecting Test-Only Code* or if
we are providing a fake implementation of an ops struct. Using
``kunit_test`` field in ``task_struct``, we can access it via
``current->kunit_test``.

The example below includes how to implement "mocking":

.. code-block:: c

	#include <linux/sched.h> /* for current */

	struct test_data {
		int foo_result;
		int want_foo_called_with;
	};

	static int fake_foo(int arg)
	{
		struct kunit *test = current->kunit_test;
		struct test_data *test_data = test->priv;

		KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, test_data->want_foo_called_with, arg);
		return test_data->foo_result;
	}

	static void example_simple_test(struct kunit *test)
	{
		/* Assume priv (private, a member used to pass test data from
		 * the init function) is allocated in the suite's .init */
		struct test_data *test_data = test->priv;

		test_data->foo_result = 42;
		test_data->want_foo_called_with = 1;

		/* In a real test, we'd probably pass a pointer to fake_foo somewhere
		 * like an ops struct, etc. instead of calling it directly. */
		KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, fake_foo(1), 42);
	}

In this example, we are using the ``priv`` member of ``struct kunit`` as a way
of passing data to the test from the init function. In general ``priv`` is
pointer that can be used for any user data. This is preferred over static
variables, as it avoids concurrency issues.

Had we wanted something more flexible, we could have used a named ``kunit_resource``.
Each test can have multiple resources which have string names providing the same
flexibility as a ``priv`` member, but also, for example, allowing helper
functions to create resources without conflicting with each other. It is also
possible to define a clean up function for each resource, making it easy to
avoid resource leaks. For more information, see Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/api/test.rst.

Failing The Current Test
------------------------

If we want to fail the current test, we can use ``kunit_fail_current_test(fmt, args...)``
which is defined in ``<kunit/test-bug.h>`` and does not require pulling in ``<kunit/test.h>``.
For example, we have an option to enable some extra debug checks on some data
structures as shown below:

.. code-block:: c

	#include <kunit/test-bug.h>

	#ifdef CONFIG_EXTRA_DEBUG_CHECKS
	static void validate_my_data(struct data *data)
	{
		if (is_valid(data))
			return;

		kunit_fail_current_test("data %p is invalid", data);

		/* Normal, non-KUnit, error reporting code here. */
	}
	#else
	static void my_debug_function(void) { }
	#endif
