Hey Matti,

As someone who's definitely wasted a lot of time fixing
poorly-thought-through tests, but who is nevertheless working
enthusiastically on KUnit, I wanted to respond quickly here.

Certainly, the goal is not to reduce development velocity, though it
is redistributed a bit: hopefully the extra time spent updating tests
will be more than paid back in identifying and fixing bugs earlier, as
well as making testing one's own changes simpler. Only time will tell
if we're right or not, but if they turn out to cause more problems
than they solve we can always adjust or remove them. I remain
optimistic, though.

I do think that these tests are unlikely to increase the burden on
developers much: they seem mostly to test interfaces and behaviour
which is used quite a bit elsewhere in the kernel: changes that break
them seem likely to be reasonably disruptive anyway, so these tests
aren't going to add too much to that overall, and may ultimately make
things a bit simpler by helping to document and verify the changes.

A few other notes inline:

The advantage of having multiple tests here is that it's really
obvious if just one of these function breaks: that's probably not
enormously likely, but there's also not much of a cost to having them
=E2=80=94 these test would run pretty quickly, and wouldn't be too expensiv=
e
to change in the unlikely event that was necessary.

While _enable and _disable are likely pretty similar, having both
tests here would catch things like copy-paste bugs from one to the
other, which is probably worth the extra test. Particularly given that
basically all of the functions tested are actually different
functions.

Logically, these init/exit functions are not supposed to be testing
anything in and of themselves, just setting up the environment for
other tests.
I do like the idea of reducing code duplication by, say, moving some
of the code into a separate helper function. I'm a little wary of
actually using the same function as an init function as a test: that
seems more confusing than the duplication to me, but that's just
personal preference, I think.

As above, I personally like having the test versions as well, as it
ensures that there's at least one test showing the failure in its
actual test function. But reusing the actual code wouldn't be a
problem, and is probably just a matter of taste.

While I obviously sit more on the "yes" side of the unit-testing
fence, you've definitely raised some interesting points. Personally,
I'd really like to see this test go in (whether as-is, or with minor
adjustments), but writing up a KUnit "testing style guide" or similar
is on my to-do list, and I'm definitely going to want to think more
about how best to handle some of these situations (and better
articulate why).
