+Bart Van Assche - I don't know if you are still working on those
configfs tests, but I wonder if this would be interesting to you.

Very cool. I was hoping to achieve a true UAPI KUnit via LKL, but
that's clearly a long way out. Besides you have a point with being
able to distribute just a couple of files.

My initial thought is that a UAPI for KUnit would mostly be useful for
testing parts of the kernel that have very few dependencies. However,
I remembered that Bart (cc'ed) was working on some KUnit tests that
would probably be better as userspace tests. I think there might be
some potential for a KUnit UAPI in decoupling the test library from
the test environment.

I have been thinking off and on for a little while about enabling some
kind of KUnit kselftest fusion tests, where you could manage an
environment in kselftest and use KUnit for testing in kernel
structures. I think this is kind of going from the opposite direction,
but is probably an easier place to start.

I will refrain myself from getting into too many wild ideas, but I
like where this is going. I think it is reasonable to just start off
with a duplicate implementation of KUnit as you have done here: we can
see if this has any legs, and if so, we can do something more
complicated later.

I have some thoughts for some things that can be improved, but after
thinking about it; I think they are all things that make sense once we
see if there are other potential users. I think as an initial version,
this looks pretty good.
