Subject: [PATCH] lib: skip percpu_counter_tree boundary kunit tests on single-CPU
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 15:06:38 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260317150638.37438-1-devnexen@gmail.com> (raw)

On single-CPU topologies, accuracy_multiplier is zero, making both
approx_accuracy_range.under and .over zero. The boundary tests in
hpcc_test_compare_value_boundaries and hpcc_test_compare_counter_boundaries
then degenerate to comparing 0 vs 0, which correctly returns 0 (equal)
but the tests expect nonzero results.

Skip these boundary tests with kunit_skip() when accuracy is zero,
since approximation boundaries are meaningless without multi-CPU carry
propagation.

Fixes: ebc1ff504f55 ("lib: add kunit boundary tests for percpu_counter_tree comparisons")
