Hi all,

After merging the kunit-next tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

Thank you Stephen. I did a allmodconfig build on 6.17-rc1 base - didn't
see the error.

Marie, David, can you take a look this. Looks like conflict with drm
in next?


Thanks, Shuah. I've managed to reproduce this with:
./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --arch x86_64 --kunitconfig
drivers/gpu/drm/xe

These patches fix it (and a corresponding drm/xe test failure):

Ideally, they'll be squashed into the corresponding patches, as
otherwise there'd be some temporary breakage during bisections. I can
squash these into the original series and re-send it out if that works
best for you.


David,

Please squash them and resend - also I see a kernel test robot
error in patch 1/2.

I was going to squash them, but I saw the kernel test robot error patch.


Thanks, Shuah.

A v2 of the fix series, with the kernel test robot error fixed, is
here: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20250821135447.1618942-1-davidgow@xxxxxxxxxx/

I've also squashed the fixes into a v4 of the original series here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20250826091341.1427123-1-davidgow@xxxxxxxxxx/


I applied these to kunit next and ran test:

./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --arch x86_64 --kunitconfig drivers/gpu/drm/xe

Looks good. Hopefully next is happy now.

thanks,
