Subject: [PATCH] kunit: reduce stack usage in kunit_run_tests()
Date: Thu, 4 Dec 2025 11:10:46 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251204101050.1035801-1-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Some of the recent changes to the kunit framework caused the stack usage
for kunit_run_tests() to grow higher than most other kernel functions,
which triggers a warning when CONFIG_FRAME_WARN is set to a relatively
low value:
lib/kunit/test.c: In function 'kunit_run_tests':
lib/kunit/test.c:801:1: error: the frame size of 1312 bytes is larger than 1280 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
Split out the inner loop into a separate function to ensure that each
function remains under the limit, and pass the kunit_result_stats
structures by reference to avoid excessive copies.
Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

Sending it now as I ran into the build failure while testing 6.18.
I only build-tested this, so please test it properly before applying.
