[PATCH v4 0/3] kunit: Introduce KUNIT_EXPECT_MEMEQ and KUNIT_EXPECT_MEMNEQ macros

From: Maíra Canal
Date: Mon Aug 08 2022 - 08:53:20 EST


Currently, in order to compare memory blocks in KUnit, the KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ or
KUNIT_EXPECT_FALSE macros are used in conjunction with the memcmp function,
such as:
KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, memcmp(foo, bar, size), 0);

Although this usage produces correct results for the test cases, if the
expectation fails the error message is not very helpful, indicating only the
return of the memcmp function.

Therefore, create a new set of macros KUNIT_EXPECT_MEMEQ and
KUNIT_EXPECT_MEMNEQ that compare memory blocks until a determined size. In
case of expectation failure, those macros print the hex dump of the memory
blocks, making it easier to debug test failures for memory blocks.

The v4 doesn't bring many changes. The output is aligned just like the previous
version but it fixes some mail client problems (sorry about that) and mentions
that this macros are not recommended for structured data.

The first patch of the series introduces the KUNIT_EXPECT_MEMEQ and
KUNIT_EXPECT_MEMNEQ. The second patch adds an example of memory block
expectations on the kunit-example-test.c. And the last patch replaces the
KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ for KUNIT_EXPECT_MEMEQ on the existing occurrences.

- Change "determinated" to "specified" (Daniel Latypov).
- Change the macro KUNIT_EXPECT_ARREQ to KUNIT_EXPECT_MEMEQ, in order to make
it easier for users to infer the right size unit (Daniel Latypov).
- Mark the different bytes on the failure message with a <> (Daniel Latypov).
- Replace a constant number of array elements for ARRAY_SIZE() (André Almeida).
- Rename "array" and "expected" variables to "array1" and "array2" (Daniel Latypov).

v2 -> v3: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20220802212621.420840-1-mairacanal@xxxxxxxxxx/T/#t

- Make the bytes aligned at output.
- Add KUNIT_SUBSUBTEST_INDENT to the output for the indentation (Daniel Latypov).
- Line up the trailing \ at macros using tabs (Daniel Latypov).
- Line up the params to the functions (Daniel Latypov).
- Change "Increament" to "Augment" (Daniel Latypov).
- Use sizeof() for array sizes (Daniel Latypov).
- Add Daniel Latypov's tags.

v3 -> v4: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/CABVgOSm_59Yr82deQm2C=18jjSv_akmn66zs4jxx3hfziXPeHg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/T/#t

- Fix wrapped lines by the mail client (David Gow).
- Mention on documentation that KUNIT_EXPECT_MEMEQ is not recommended for
structured data (David Gow).
- Add Muhammad Usama Anjum's tag.
