The two calls above aim at proving that the change does not break
existing functionality.

Unfortunately, the style of the tests does not really match with the
style of the existing tests, because those where all aimed at the
framework itself and not at specific functions.
Please let me know, if you require any changes.

The intention was to show why the tests were added ("In light of the
recent discovery..."). I announced this discovery in the mail I referred
to. Since that intention didn't come across: Should I drop the link?

Sure, will do. The idea was to highlight that we want to have the parent
running at 10 times the speed, while the divider has a maximum value of
7 (or 8 if zero based).

Yes, 7 is related to mwidth. I thought about this too, but I'm not sure
that's the best move here. The function under test uses:
max_m = GENMASK(fd->mwidth - 1, 0);
max_n = GENMASK(fd->nwidth - 1, 0);
I come from a safety-concerned industry and as a general rule we avoid
using functions from the code under test in our tests. I'm doing this
here as a hobby, but still I find it to be a good rule that I'd like to
stick to unless asked otherwise.
If I use the same code to generate the expected values, I'm not really
testing my change, but only the underlying best_rational_approximation.
Instead, how about I add a comment to the test function that more
thoroughly explains its intention?
Something along those lines:
/*
* Introduce a parent that runs at 10 times the frequency of the
* requested rate.
* m and n are 3 bits wide each.
* The clock has no flags set, hence the maximum value that fits in
* m and n is 7.
* Therefore, expect the highest possible divisor.
*/
static void clk_fd_test_round_rate_max_m(struct kunit *test)
/*
* Introduce a parent that runs at 1/10th the frequency of the
* requested rate.
* m and n are 3 bits wide each.
* The clock has no flags set, hence the maximum value that fits in
* m and n is 7.
* Therefore, expect the highest possible multiplier.
*/
static void clk_fd_test_round_rate_max_n(struct kunit *test)
/*
* Introduce a parent that runs at 10 times the frequency of the
* requested rate.
* m and n are 3 bits wide each.
* The clock is zero based, hence the maximum value that fits in

*/

*/
static void clk_fd_test_round_rate_max_n_zero_based(struct kunit *test)
Please note that from your original comment, I wasn't sure, if you
wanted a one time test or someting that could become part of the
clk-frameworks test suite. Therefore, I sent this test case to test the
waters and ask for your comments. It's clear to me now that you want it
to be permanent, so I'll spend some time on it to make it ready for
inclusion. :)
Is there anything else you'd like me to cover in the tests for the fix?

Frank

The issue seems to be that clk_fractional_divider_general_approximation
is not exported as a symbol, while the config builds the clk_test as a
module:
CONFIG_CLK_KUNIT_TEST=m
If I'm not mistaken, this means that I can't test
clk_fractional_divider_general_approximation directly. Instead I'd have
to test it using clk_fractional_divider_ops.round_rate.
Can someone more knowlegdable than me please confirm if my understanding
is correct?
Thanks,
Frank

Ok. I can do that. Please note that I had already submitted a V3 [1],
that went the way of using clk_fractional_divider_ops.round_rate. I
apologize for not waiting for your feedback prior to submission. It
won't happen again.
I liked the approach of calling clk_fd_round_rate directly via the ops,
because it might allow me to test the other ops as well using the same
blueprint. Of course, I will not add test cases, if you don't want it.
(Calling clk_fd_round_rate also had the side effect of teaching me, that
fd clocks expect the fraction to be less than or equal to 1.)
I don't want to waste your time, but if you could maybe have a chance to
look at the approach I took in V3 and tell me if you still want me to
export the symbol instead, that would be really helpful. I'll follow
your preference.
If I don't hear back until the weekend, I will treat your three words
above as your preference and prepare a V4 that goes back to calling
clk_fractional_divider_general_approximation directly.
Thank you,
Frank

I've now submitted V5 [1] of this patchset. Unfortunately, V4 [2] had a

In my opinion V5 is ready for review and hopefully addresses all your
previous concerns.
Thank you for your patience.
