[PATCH] lib: skip percpu_counter_tree boundary kunit tests on single-CPU

From: David Carlier

Date: Tue Mar 17 2026 - 11:14:18 EST


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.
