The commit message describes a different bug than the one that exists:
Every fixture opens /dev/pci-endpoint-test.0 without checking, so on a
machine that has no PCI endpoint test device each case fails on the
first ioctl against fd -1
Every fixture does check:
FIXTURE_SETUP(pci_ep_bar)
{
self->fd = open(test_device, O_RDWR);
ASSERT_NE(-1, self->fd) TH_LOG("Can't open PCI Endpoint Test device");
}
at pci_endpoint_test.c:43 (pci_ep_bar), :82 (pci_ep_basic), :153
(pci_ep_data_transfer) and :232 (pcie_ep_doorbell).
No ioctl is ever reached - what fails is the assertion in the fixture setup
("Test terminated by assertion" in the output above).
Please reword: each of the 17 cases fails on the fixture setup assertion.
Otherwise the next reader goes looking for an ioctl(-1, ...) bug that is not
there. The "four fixtures" part is correct.
> Check for the device once before handing over to the harness. Doing it
> there rather than in each of the four fixtures keeps it to a single skip.

The check runs before test_harness_run(), while argv parsing happens
inside it (test_harness_argv_check(), kselftest_harness.h:1119).
So on a machine without the device, "./pci_endpoint_test -l" (list tests) and
"-h" (usage) now print the skip message instead of their own output. Please
limit the skip to the plain invocation, which is the one kselftest uses:
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
/*
* Only the plain invocation - the one kselftest uses - turns into a
* skip, so that -l and -h keep working without the hardware.
*/
if (argc == 1 && !test_device_available())
ksft_exit_skip("no PCI endpoint test device %s\n", test_device);
return test_harness_run(argc, argv);
}
