[PATCH net-next v15 07/12] selftests/vsock: add vm_dmesg_{warn,oops}_count() helpers

From: Bobby Eshleman

Date: Fri Jan 16 2026 - 16:29:10 EST


From: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@xxxxxxxx>

These functions are reused by the VM tests to collect and compare dmesg
warnings and oops counts. The future VM-specific tests use them heavily.
This patches relies on vm_ssh() already supporting namespaces.

Changes in v11:
- break these out into an earlier patch so that they can be used
directly in new patches (instead of causing churn by adding this
later)
