- Kunit test for the misc minor.
- It tests misc minor functions for dynamic and misc dynamic minor.
- This include misc_xxx functions
+ Kunit test for miscdevice API, specially its behavior in respect to
+ static and dynamic minor numbers.
+
+ KUnit tests run during boot and output the results to the debug log
+ in TAP format (https://testanything.org/). Only useful for kernel devs
+ running the KUnit test harness, and not intended for inclusion into a
+ production build.
+
+ For more information on KUnit and unit tests in general please refer
+ to the KUnit documentation in Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/.
If unsure, say N.
