Subject: [PATCH 7/9] ktest: Add PRE_KTEST_DIE for PRE_KTEST failures
Date: Sat, 07 Mar 2026 19:08:02 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260307-ktest-fixes-v1-7-565d412f4925@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260307-ktest-fixes-v1-0-565d412f4925@suse.com>

PRE_KTEST runs before the first test, but its return status is currently
ignored. A failing setup hook can leave the rest of the run executing in a
partially initialized environment.

Add PRE_KTEST_DIE so PRE_KTEST can fail the run in the same way
PRE_BUILD_DIE and PRE_TEST_DIE already can. Keep the default behavior
unchanged when the new option is not set.
