I know some files in perf do not strictly use the alphabet ordering
for headers, but this is the convention for Linux mainline code.

It would be better to use the below ordering (just an example which
doesn't contain complete headers for this patch):

Multple comments format is:

If this is a comment for function, place the comment on the top of the
function.

This patch is not only for refactoring handling test sub folders,
there have many minor changes, IIUC, here it drops macro
for_each_shell_test() and is_directory(), etc.

I am not saying this is wrong, but this is not easy for review.

Place comment on the top of function.

How about below condition checking?

if (files_num_tmp >= SIZE_MAX) {

> + abort();

Can don't use abort() and return error, so upper function can handle
the error gracefully?

files = realloc(files,
(files_num_tmp + 1) * sizeof(struct script_file));

BTW, I don't see any where to free the memory for "files".

I personally think here it's over complex for using the last item in the
array as a redundant item and set NULL to its fields. We have the
global variable "files_num", which can be used for checking boundary
for the array.

Here really need to check '.'? The function is_shell_script() has
checked for hidden files.

The code format should be:

/* Skip hidden files */
if (ent->d_name[0] == '.')
continue;

if (files)
return files;

The rest part of this patch looks good to me.

I strongly suggest you to consider how to organize the patches with
better format. This patch actually finishes below things:

- Support sub folder searching for shell script (so the key change is
using the recursion in append_scripts_in_dir());
- Refactoring to a common code for iterating testing scripts;
- Many minor refactoring, like dropping macro for_each_shell_test()
and introduces new function is_shell_script().

Seems every part above is deserved to use a separate patch, which would
be much easier for review.

Thanks,
Leo
