10 the signature ``void (*)(struct kunit *test)`` 10 the signature ``void (*)(struct kunit *test)``. It calls the function under test
11 and then sets *expectations* for what should h 11 and then sets *expectations* for what should happen. For example:

24 In the above example, ``example_test_success`` 24 In the above example, ``example_test_success`` always passes because it does
25 nothing; no expectations are set, and therefor 25 nothing; no expectations are set, and therefore all expectations pass. On the
26 other hand ``example_test_failure`` always fai 26 other hand ``example_test_failure`` always fails because it calls ``KUNIT_FAIL``,

34 expectations about the behavior of a piece of 34 expectations about the behavior of a piece of code under test. When one or more
35 expectations fail, the test case fails and inf 35 expectations fail, the test case fails and information about the failure is

614 Registering Cleanup Actions <<
615 --------------------------- <<
616 <<
617 If you need to perform some cleanup beyond sim <<
618 you can register a custom "deferred action", w <<
619 run when the test exits (whether cleanly, or v <<
620 <<
621 Actions are simple functions with no return va <<
622 context argument, and fulfill the same role as <<
623 and Go tests, "defer" statements in languages <<
624 (in some cases) destructors in RAII languages. <<
625 <<
626 These are very useful for unregistering things <<
627 files or other resources, or freeing resources <<
628 <<
629 For example: <<
630 <<
631 .. code-block:: C <<
632 <<
633 static void cleanup_device(void *ctx) <<
634 { <<
635 struct device *dev = (struct d <<
636 <<
637 device_unregister(dev); <<
638 } <<
639 <<
640 void example_device_test(struct kunit <<
641 { <<
642 struct my_device dev; <<
643 <<
644 device_register(&dev); <<
645 <<
646 kunit_add_action(test, &cleanu <<
647 } <<
648 <<
649 Note that, for functions like device_unregiste <<
650 pointer-sized argument, it's possible to autom <<
651 with the ``KUNIT_DEFINE_ACTION_WRAPPER()`` mac <<
652 <<
653 .. code-block:: C <<
654 <<
655 KUNIT_DEFINE_ACTION_WRAPPER(device_unr <<
656 kunit_add_action(test, &device_unregis <<
657 <<
658 You should do this in preference to manually c <<
659 as casting function pointers will break Contro <<
660 <<
661 ``kunit_add_action`` can fail if, for example, <<
662 You can use ``kunit_add_action_or_reset`` inst <<
663 immediately if it cannot be deferred. <<
664 <<
665 If you need more control over when the cleanup <<
666 can trigger it early using ``kunit_release_act <<
667 with ``kunit_remove_action``. <<

812 Managing Fake Devices and Drivers <<

815 When testing drivers or code which interacts w <<

818 can be used instead. <<
819 <<
820 KUnit provides helper functions to create and <<
821 are internally of type ``struct kunit_device`` <<
822 ``kunit_bus``. These devices support managed d <<
823 described in Documentation/driver-api/driver-m <<

825 To create a KUnit-managed ``struct device_driv <<
826 which will create a driver with the given name <<
827 will automatically be destroyed when the corre <<
828 be manually destroyed with ``driver_unregister <<
829 <<
830 To create a fake device, use the ``kunit_devic <<
831 and register a device, using a new KUnit-manag <<
832 To provide a specific, non-KUnit-managed drive <<
833 instead. Like with managed drivers, KUnit-mana <<
834 cleaned up when the test finishes, but can be <<
835 ``kunit_device_unregister()``. <<
836 <<
837 The KUnit devices should be used in preference <<
838 instead of ``platform_device_register()`` in c <<
839 a platform device. <<

841 For example: <<

843 .. code-block:: c <<
