SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +======================== +Function Redirection API +======================== + +Overview +======== + +When writing unit tests, it's important to be able to isolate the code being +tested from other parts of the kernel. This ensures the reliability of the test +(it won't be affected by external factors), reduces dependencies on specific +hardware or config options (making the test easier to run), and protects the +stability of the rest of the system (making it less likely for test-specific +state to interfere with the rest of the system). + +While for some code (typically generic data structures, helpers, and other +"pure functions") this is trivial, for others (like device drivers, +filesystems, core subsystems) the code is heavily coupled with other parts of +the kernel. + +This coupling is often due to global state in some way: be it a global list of +devices, the filesystem, or some hardware state. Tests need to either carefully +manage, isolate, and restore state, or they can avoid it altogether by +replacing access to and mutation of this state with a "fake" or "mock" variant. + +By refactoring access to such state, such as by introducing a layer of +indirection which can use or emulate a separate set of test state. However, +such refactoring comes with its own costs (and undertaking significant +refactoring before being able to write tests is suboptimal). + +A simpler way to intercept and replace some of the function calls is to use +function redirection via static stubs. + + +Static Stubs +============ + +Static stubs are a way of redirecting calls to one function (the "real" +function) to another function (the "replacement" function). + +It works by adding a macro to the "real" function which checks to see if a test +is running, and if a replacement function is available. If so, that function is +called in place of the original. + +Using static stubs is pretty straightforward: + +1. Add the KUNIT_STATIC_STUB_REDIRECT() macro to the start of the "real" + function. + + This should be the first statement in the function, after any variable + declarations. KUNIT_STATIC_STUB_REDIRECT() takes the name of the + function, followed by all of the arguments passed to the real function. + + For example: + + .. code-block:: c + + void send_data_to_hardware(const char *str) + { + KUNIT_STATIC_STUB_REDIRECT(send_data_to_hardware, str); + /* real implementation */ + } + +2. Write one or more replacement functions. + + These functions should have the same function signature as the real function. + In the event they need to access or modify test-specific state, they can use + kunit_get_current_test() to get a struct kunit pointer. This can then + be passed to the expectation/assertion macros, or used to look up KUnit + resources. + + For example: + + .. code-block:: c + + void fake_send_data_to_hardware(const char *str) + { + struct kunit *test = kunit_get_current_test(); + KUNIT_EXPECT_STREQ(test, str, "Hello World!"); + } + +3. Activate the static stub from your test. + + From within a test, the redirection can be enabled with + kunit_activate_static_stub(), which accepts a struct kunit pointer, + the real function, and the replacement function. You can call this several + times with different replacement functions to swap out implementations of the + function. + + In our example, this would be + + .. code-block:: c + + kunit_activate_static_stub(test, + send_data_to_hardware, + fake_send_data_to_hardware); + +4. Call (perhaps indirectly) the real function. + + Once the redirection is activated, any call to the real function will call + the replacement function instead. Such calls may be buried deep in the + implementation of another function, but must occur from the test's kthread. + + For example: + + .. code-block:: c + + send_data_to_hardware("Hello World!"); /* Succeeds */ + send_data_to_hardware("Something else"); /* Fails the test. */ + +5. (Optionally) disable the stub. + + When you no longer need it, disable the redirection (and hence resume the + original behaviour of the 'real' function) using + kunit_deactivate_static_stub(). Otherwise, it will be automatically disabled + when the test exits. + + For example: + + .. code-block:: c + + kunit_deactivate_static_stub(test, send_data_to_hardware); + + +It's also possible to use these replacement functions to test to see if a +function is called at all, for example: + +.. code-block:: c + + void send_data_to_hardware(const char *str) + { + KUNIT_STATIC_STUB_REDIRECT(send_data_to_hardware, str); + /* real implementation */ + } + + /* In test file */ + int times_called = 0; + void fake_send_data_to_hardware(const char *str) + { + times_called++; + } + ... + /* In the test case, redirect calls for the duration of the test */ + kunit_activate_static_stub(test, send_data_to_hardware, fake_send_data_to_hardware); + + send_data_to_hardware("hello"); + KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, times_called, 1); + + /* Can also deactivate the stub early, if wanted */ + kunit_deactivate_static_stub(test, send_data_to_hardware); + + send_data_to_hardware("hello again"); + KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, times_called, 1); + + + +API Reference +============= + +.. kernel-doc:: include/kunit/static_stub.h + :internal: diff --git a/Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/api/index.rst b/Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/api/index.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..5cdb552a0 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/api/index.rst @@ -0,0 +1,48 @@ +..
