what means is_static? It's not connected to test_name in any way and
please use reverse fir tree variable ordering
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/maintainer-tip.html#variable-declarations
So either use a variable name which makes it clear that it is related to
test_name (something obvious like: name_allocated) or do
char *test_name, *default_name = TEST_NAME;
and do test_name = default_name; in the error path and then check for
(test_name != default_name)
Whatever you pick will be better than the non-obvious is_static.
