Subject: [PATCH] selftests: ALSA: Skip tests when devices are unavailable
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2026 09:57:56 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260926095756.2051290-1-arfa79lg@gmail.com> (raw)
A kernel built without CONFIG_SND exposes no ALSA devices. In that
environment, the mixer and PCM tests currently report success with a
zero-test plan, while the userspace timer tests fail when opening
/dev/snd/timer. Neither result accurately describes an unsupported test
environment.
Report KSFT_SKIP when no sound cards are detected and when the timer
device is unavailable. Keep the PCM missing-card failures when a matching
hardware configuration says that a card should exist, and continue to
fail timer opens for unexpected errors.
Closes: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218479
