I use to notice kernel panic while running kunit tests
now I have noticed this

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range
pc : kunit_test_null_dereference (lib/kunit/kunit-test.c:119)
lr : kunit_generic_run_threadfn_adapter (lib/kunit/try-catch.c:31)

The kunit tests run to completion and the system is stable.
Kernel did not panic.
