[PATCH] gpu: GPU_BUDDY_KUNIT_TEST should not select GPU_BUDDY
From: Geert Uytterhoeven
Date: Mon Aug 24 2026 - 11:21:50 EST
Enabling a (modular) test should not silently enable additional kernel
functionality, as that may increase the attack vector for a product.
Fix this by reverting the select to a dependency. Make sure the GPU
buddy allocator can be tested without enabling another driver that uses
DRM_BUDDY by making GPU_BUDDY visible if KUNIT is enabled.
The page based buddy allocator for GPU memory is only used by DRM.
Hence add a dependency on DRM to GPU_BUDDY, to prevent asking the user
about this code when configuring a kernel without DRM support.
Fixes: 8fe3fc37564920ae ("gpu: Fix dependencies in CONFIG_GPU_BUDDY_KUNIT_TEST")
