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.

README
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.
