Subject: [PATCH v4 8/8] kunit: validate glob filter patterns before use
Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2026 21:18:07 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260315211807.411173-9-objecting@objecting.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260315211807.411173-1-objecting@objecting.org>
kunit_parse_glob_filter() accepts user-provided glob patterns via the
filter_glob module parameter but does not check whether they are
well-formed. A malformed pattern like "suite[.test" (unclosed bracket)
or "suite\" (trailing backslash) is silently passed to glob_match()
which handles it gracefully but not in the way the user likely intended
— the bracket is matched as a literal character rather than starting a
character class.
Use glob_validate() to reject malformed patterns early with -EINVAL,
so users get a clear error instead of silently wrong filter results.
