[PATCH] lib/test_vmalloc.c: introduce xfail for failing tests

From: Raghavendra K T
Date: Wed Jul 02 2025 - 02:44:08 EST


The test align_shift_alloc_test is expected to fail.
Reporting the test as fail confuses to be a genuine failure.
Introduce widely used xfail sematics to address the issue.

Note: a warn_alloc dump similar to below is still expected:

Call Trace:
<TASK>
dump_stack_lvl+0x64/0x80
warn_alloc+0x137/0x1b0
? __get_vm_area_node+0x134/0x140

Snippet of dmesg after change:

Summary: random_size_align_alloc_test passed: 1 failed: 0 xfailed: 0 ..
Summary: align_shift_alloc_test passed: 0 failed: 0 xfailed: 1 ..
Summary: pcpu_alloc_test passed: 1 failed: 0 xfailed: 0 ..
