I'm really busy right now, unfortunately.

I would hope we find some mechanical replacement.

E.g.,

ksft_test_result_pass("No leak from parent into child\n");

becomes

ksft_print_msg("No leak from parent into child\n");
log_test_result(KSFT_PASS);

and

ksft_test_result_xfail("Leak from parent into child\n");

becomes

ksft_print_msg("Leak from parent into child\n");
log_test_result(KSFT_FAIL);
