Nice! I've been using mocking techniques in kernel code for the
libnvdimm test infrastructure in tools/testing/nvdimm/. It's part unit
test infrastructure, part emulation, and I've always had the feeling
it's all a bit too adhoc. I'm going to take a look and see what can be
converted to kunit. Please include linux-nvdimm(a)lists.01.org on future
postings.
Great to hear!
Interesting, is this kind of like the nfsim stuff?
I'll shamelessly plug my lwn article about unit testing
https://lwn.net/Articles/654071/ because it's always good to find
fellow co-travelers to compare notes and advocate for more test
oriented kernel development.
Most definitely! I will take a look, and be in touch.
Cheers!
