From: Petr Mladek
Date: Wed Jul 02 2025 - 05:53:36 EST


Hi,

this patchset puts together some followup fixes for the new KUnit test
which were discussed on several locations.

1st patch:

+ adds a comment exaplaing why the test ignores pr_reserve() failures.

+ was proposed at https://lore.kernel.org/r/aFUiQESkXjFIGqez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

+ Thomas Weißschuh added into v4 of the original patch but I have already
comitted v3 in the meantime, see
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250620-printk-ringbuffer-test-v4-1-8df873f1f3e0@xxxxxxxxxxxxx


2nd patch:

+ dynamically allocates a cpu bitmap to make the code safe even on systems
with many CPUs.

+ v1 was set by Arnd Bergmann but it had some problems, see
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250620192554.2234184-1-arnd@xxxxxxxxxx

+ This version just integreates the proposed fixes from
https://lore.kernel.org/r/aFkuqaFn3BOvsPT-@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


3rd patch:

+ stores "size" instead on "len" in struct prbtest_rbdata so that
is can be used to check code sanity by __counted_by(size).

+ fixes https://lore.kernel.org/r/eaea66b9-266a-46e7-980d-33f40ad4b215@sabinyo.mountain

+ it is based on the idea from Thomas Weißschuh, see
20250626082605-c5fbbb88-f6cc-4659-bea0-a283cdb58e81@xxxxxxxxxxxxx


Sigh, I should have asked people to send new patches. But this looked
easier and I wanted to clean the table.


Arnd Bergmann (1):
printk: kunit: support offstack cpumask

Petr Mladek (2):
printk: ringbuffer: Explain why the KUnit test ignores failed writes
printk: kunit: Fix __counted_by() in struct prbtest_rbdata
