Hi,
This patch
(https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/4e1d71cabb19ec2586827adfc60d68689c68c194)
fixes a kunit test; we therefore believe this is not a vulnerability.
Thanks,
Vegard

Many systems build kunit tests into the kernels they ship to customers
(hint, a few hundred million phones have them enabled...) So if your
system does build this one, then it is an issue for you.
If you don't build it, wonderful, not a problem! But we can't just not
assign a CVE just because someone might not build this file, again, we
do not know use cases, which is why we have to assign CVEs for all files
that could be built as part of a kernel image (but not for the userspace
test stuff.)
