[PATCH] kunit: run test suites only after module initialization completes

From: Marco Pagani
Date: Mon Oct 16 2023 - 16:37:14 EST


Commit 2810c1e99867 ("kunit: Fix wild-memory-access bug in
kunit_free_suite_set()") is causing all test suites to run (when
built as modules) while still in MODULE_STATE_COMING. In that state,
test modules are not fully initialized and lack sysfs kobjects.
This behavior can cause a crash if the test module tries to register
fake devices.

This patch restores the normal execution flow, waiting for the module
initialization to complete before running the test suites.
The issue reported in the commit mentioned above is addressed using
virt_addr_valid() to detect if the module loading has failed
and mod->kunit_suites has not been allocated using kmalloc_array().
