[PATCH net-next v3] net: mctp: Make flow KUnit coverage an explicit opt-in

From: Karl Mehltretter

Date: Fri Oct 02 2026 - 17:23:12 EST


MCTP_TEST selects MCTP_FLOWS, so KUNIT_ALL_TESTS builds flow support and
SKB_EXTENSIONS even when no transport needs them. KUnit's style guide
says tests should not select otherwise unused functionality. The CRC
and crypto library tests use explicit ENABLE_ALL_FOR_KUNIT options for
full coverage.

Remove the selection from MCTP_TEST. The core suite remains available
without flows; its two flow cases use their existing skip paths. Add
MCTP_ENABLE_ALL_FOR_KUNIT to opt into full coverage, and enable it in
all_tests.config and a dedicated net/mctp/.kunitconfig. Both profiles
run the flow cases without a hardware transport.

A plain MCTP_TEST=y configuration without the opt-in now skips those
two cases. This is the coverage cost of leaving otherwise unused flow
support disabled.

Changes in v3:
- Keep the core suite available without MCTP_FLOWS; a plain MCTP_TEST=y
configuration now skips only the two flow cases.
- Add MCTP_ENABLE_ALL_FOR_KUNIT to retain full coverage in
all_tests.config and a focused net/mctp/.kunitconfig.
- Drop the Fixes tag because this changes test configuration rather
than fixing a runtime MCTP bug.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260925192510.93840-1-kmehltretter@xxxxxxxxx/

Validation: The MCTP KUnit suites were built with GCC 15.2 and booted
under QEMU 10.2.1 on an isolated source export from net-next
014d795c7383, with the changed Kconfig files copied from 071876fd5048.
Without the opt-in, mctp-sock passed 5/5 tests and mctp-route passed
21/23 tests with two expected flow-case skips. With the opt-in, both
suites passed all 5 and 23 tests, respectively. On the full
071876fd5048 tree, the new net/mctp/.kunitconfig resolves all requested
symbols and selects MCTP_FLOWS and SKB_EXTENSIONS.
