[v2,0/9] initramfs: kunit tests and cleanups

Message

David Disseldorp Nov. 4, 2024, 2:14 p.m. UTC

This patchset adds basic kunit test coverage for initramfs unpacking
and cleans up some minor buffer handling issues / inefficiencies.

Changes since v1 (RFC):
- rebase atop v6.12-rc6 and filename field overrun fix from
  https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]
- add unit test coverage (new patches 1 and 2)
- add patch: fix hardlink hash leak without TRAILER
- rework patch: avoid static buffer for error message
  + drop unnecessary message propagation
- drop patch: cpio_buf reuse for built-in and bootloader initramfs
  + no good justification for the change

Feedback appreciated.
