Functionally, this just means that the test output will be slightly changed and it'll now depend on CONFIG_KUNIT=y/m. It'll still run at boot time and can still be built as a loadable module. There was a pre-existing patch to convert this test that I found later, here [1]. Compared to [1], this patch doesn't rename files and uses KUnit features more heavily (i.e. does more than converting pr_err() calls to KUNIT_FAIL()). What this conversion gives us: * a shorter test thanks to KUnit's macros * a way to run this a bit more easily via kunit.py (and CONFIG_KUNIT_ALL_TESTS=y) [2] * a structured way of reporting pass/fail * uses kunit-managed allocations to avoid the risk of memory leaks * more descriptive error messages: * i.e. it prints out which fields are invalid, what the expected values are, etc. What this conversion does not do: * change the name of the file (and thus the name of the module) * change the name of the config option Leaving these as-is for now to minimize the impact to people wanting to run this test. IMO, that concern trumps following KUnit's style guide for both names, at least for now.

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.
