[PATCH] kunit: Rework kunit_resource allocation policy

From: David Gow
Date: Sat Mar 19 2022 - 01:56:13 EST


KUnit's test-managed resources can be created in two ways:
- Using the kunit_add_resource() family of functions, which accept a
struct kunit_resource pointer, typically allocated statically or on
the stack during the test.
- Using the kunit_alloc_resource() family of functions, which allocate a
struct kunit_resource using kzalloc() behind the scenes.

Both of these families of functions accept a 'free' function to be
called when the resource is finally disposed of.

At present, KUnit will kfree() the resource if this 'free' function is
specified, and will not if it is NULL. However, this can lead
kunit_alloc_resource() to leak memory (if no 'free' function is passed
in), or kunit_add_resource() to incorrectly kfree() memory which was
allocated by some other means (on the stack, as part of a larger
allocation, etc), if a 'free' function is provided.

Instead, always kfree() if the resource was allocated with
kunit_alloc_resource(), and never kfree() if it was passed into
kunit_add_resource() by the user. (If the user of kunit_add_resource()
wishes the resource be kfree()ed, they can call kfree() on the resource
from within the 'free' function.

This is implemented by adding a 'should_free' member to
struct kunit_resource and setting it appropriately. To facilitate this,
the various resource add/alloc functions have been refactored somewhat,
making them all call a __kunit_add_resource() helper after setting the
'should_free' member appropriately. In the process, all other functions
have been made static inline functions.
