Subject: Re: [PATCH] lib/tests: add KUnit test for bitops

Hi Ryota,

Is this your first commitment? If so - congrats and welcome to the
community!

'ports' her is an euphemism for copy-pasting?

OK, it doesn't look like a pure duplicate.

I'm not a user of kunit, but some people are. And seemingly it would help
to improve testing coverage through those enabling KUNIT_ALL_TESTS. So I
don't object against this test.

Can you please resend this patch, and in commit message list all the
tests from the original lib/test_bitops? Please mention those you move
to the new test. Is there any new coverage in your version?

Please attach whatever it prints as an output, if any.

It's tested at boot only if 'y'. If 'm' - it's not.

Those 2 paragraphs don't relate to the new test, don't even mention
it. Please drop them.

I would add a note that this is a partial copy of test_bitops, and in case
of _any_ doubt, one could enable config TEST_BITOPS and run the original
test.

Those gentlemen are not even in CC. Are you sure they agree to
