[PATCH 0/2] kunit: tool: Preserve failures in parsed KTAP results
From: Louis H. Poulin II
Date: Thu Nov 05 2026 - 14:04:24 EST
The KUnit tool's saved-log parser does not consistently propagate two
failure conditions. A suite reporting not ok with only skipped children
leaves the run SKIPPED. A result with an out-of-sequence number can
still be counted as successful, so kunit.py parse may exit 0 for that
malformed log.
Patch 1 preserves the suite's reported failure in aggregate counts.
Patch 2 marks out-of-sequence result records as failed. It depends on
patch 1 for a malformed parent suite whose child tests are all skipped.
The KTAP specification requires result numbers to start at 1 and
increase by one at each nesting level. The numbering change treats a
malformed result record as failed even when its keyword is ok. It
leaves the status policy for other parse diagnostics unchanged,
including a late TAP plan and truncated logs.
Tested locally: ./kunit_tool_test.py (100 tests), saved-log parsing
tests, Python syntax and strict checkpatch with the sign-off check
excluded. No live kernel run was performed.
