@@ -123,17 +123,95 @@ A current limitation is that KUnit does not support assertions in other tasks.
Thus, we presently simply print an error to the kernel log if an assertion
actually failed. Additionally, doctests are not run for nonpublic functions.
+Since these tests are examples, i.e. they are part of the documentation, they
+should generally be written like "real code". Thus, for example, instead of
+using ``unwrap()`` or ``expect()``, use the ``?`` operator. For more background,
+please see:

The ``#[test]`` tests
---------------------
-Additionally, there are the ``#[test]`` tests. These can be run using the
-``rusttest`` Make target::
+Additionally, there are the ``#[test]`` tests. Like for documentation tests,
+these are also fairly similar to what you would expect from userspace, and they
+are also mapped to KUnit.
+
+These tests are introduced by the ``kunit_tests`` procedural macro, which takes
+the name of the test suite as an argument.
+
+For instance, assume we want to test the function ``f`` from the documentation
+tests section. We could write, in the same file where we have our function:
+
+.. code-block:: rust
+
+ #[kunit_tests(rust_kernel_mymod)]
+ mod tests {
+ use super::*;
+
+ #[test]
+ fn test_f() {
+ assert_eq!(f(10, 20), 30);
+ }
+ }
+
+And if we run it, the kernel log would look like::
+
+ KTAP version 1
+ # Subtest: rust_kernel_mymod
+ # speed: normal
+ 1..1
+ # test_f.speed: normal
+ ok 1 test_f
+ ok 1 rust_kernel_mymod
+
+Like documentation tests, the ``assert!`` and ``assert_eq!`` macros are mapped
+back to KUnit and do not panic. Similarly, the
+`? <https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/expressions/operator-expr.html#the-question-mark-operator>`_
+operator is supported, i.e. the test functions may return either nothing (i.e.
+the unit type ``()``) or ``Result`` (i.e. any ``Result<T, E>``). For instance:
+
+.. code-block:: rust
+
+ #[kunit_tests(rust_kernel_mymod)]
+ mod tests {
+ use super::*;
+
+ #[test]
+ fn test_g() -> Result {
+ let x = g()?;
+ assert_eq!(x, 30);
+ Ok(())
+ }
+ }
+
+If we run the test and the call to ``g`` fails, then the kernel log would show::
+
+ KTAP version 1
+ # Subtest: rust_kernel_mymod
+ # speed: normal
+ 1..1
+ # test_g: ASSERTION FAILED at rust/kernel/lib.rs:335
+ Expected is_test_result_ok(test_g()) to be true, but is false
+ # test_g.speed: normal
+ not ok 1 test_g
+ not ok 1 rust_kernel_mymod
+
+If a ``#[test]`` test could be useful as an example for the user, then please
+use a documentation test instead. Even edge cases of an API, e.g. error or
+boundary cases, can be interesting to show in examples.
+
+The ``rusttest`` host tests
+---------------------------
+
+These are userspace tests that can be built and run in the host (i.e. the one
+that performs the kernel build) using the ``rusttest`` Make target::
make LLVM=1 rusttest
-This requires the kernel ``.config`` and downloads external repositories. It
-runs the ``#[test]`` tests on the host (currently) and thus is fairly limited in
-what these tests can test.
+This requires the kernel ``.config``.
+
+Currently, they are mostly used for testing the ``macros`` crate's examples.
