Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== selftests: kselftest_harness: support using xfail When running selftests for our subsystem in our CI we'd like all tests to pass. Currently some tests use SKIP for cases they expect to fail, because the kselftest_harness limits the return codes to pass/fail/skip. XFAIL which would be a great match here cannot be used. Remove the no_print handling and use vfork() to run the test in a different process than the setup. This way we don't need to pass "failing step" via the exit code. Further clean up the exit codes so that we can use all KSFT_* values. Rewrite the result printing to make handling XFAIL/XPASS easier. Support tests declaring combinations of fixture + variant they expect to fail. Merge plan is to put it on top of -rc6 and merge into net-next. That way others should be able to pull the patches without any networking changes. v4: - rebase on top of Mickael's vfork() changes v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240220192235.2953484-1-kuba@kernel.org/ - combine multiple series - change to "list of expected failures" rather than SKIP()-like handling v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240216002619.1999225-1-kuba@kernel.org/ - fix alignment follow up RFC: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240216004122.2004689-1-kuba@kernel.org/ v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240213154416.422739-1-kuba@kernel.org/ ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
