Subject: [RFC PATCH 05/39] sysctl: cover priv in KUnit and the debug test module
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:34:44 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <0384433c6fd37d307100b5c8eaf33c6ec4b442ba.1793204511.git.wen.yang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1793204511.git.wen.yang@linux.dev>
From: Wen Yang <wen.yang@linux.dev>
Add KUnit cases for priv: a standard handler must ignore it, registration
must reject priv with a standard handler, and a re-registered table must
keep both the value pointer and the context.
Move the debug module's dynamic-value entry to the same shape so it
exercises data-as-value and priv-as-context.
