Subject: [for-next][PATCH 4/9] ktest: Honor empty per-test option overrides
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 14:40:37 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260316184116.219854590@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260316184033.927944169@kernel.org>
From: =?UTF-8?q?Ricardo=20B=2E=20Marli=C3=A8re?= <rbm@suse.com>
A per-test override can clear an inherited default option by assigning an
empty value, but __set_test_option() still used option_defined() to decide
whether a per-test key existed. That turned an empty per-test assignment
back into "fall back to the default", so tests still could not clear
inherited settings.
For example:
DEFAULTS
(...)
LOG_FILE = /tmp/ktest-empty-override.log
CLEAR_LOG = 1
ADD_CONFIG = /tmp/.config
TEST_START
TEST_TYPE = build
BUILD_TYPE = nobuild
ADD_CONFIG =
This would run the test with ADD_CONFIG[1] = /tmp/.config
Fix by checking whether the per-test key exists before falling back. If it
does exist but is empty, treat it as unset for that test and stop the
fallback chain there.
