I disagree. Actions make it easier to reason about, even when comparing
assertion vs expectation

Like, for the call to sg_alloc_table and
drm_gem_shmem_prime_import_sg_table(), the reasonable use of assert vs
expect would be something like:

sgt = kzalloc(sizeof(*sgt), GFP_KERNEL);
KUNIT_ASSERT_NOT_NULL(test, sgt);

ret = sg_alloc_table(sgt, 1, GFP_KERNEL);
KUNIT_ASSERT_EQ(test, ret, 0);

/*
 * Here, it's already not super clear whether you want to expect vs
 * assert. expect will make you handle the failure case later, assert will
 * force you to call kfree on sgt. Both kind of suck in their own ways.
 */

sg_init_one(sgt->sgl, buf, TEST_SIZE);

gem_obj = drm_gem_shmem_prime_import_sg_table(&fdev->drm_dev, &attach_mock, sgt);
KUNIT_ASSERT_NOT_ERR_OR_NULL(test, gem_obj);

/*
 * If the assert fails, we forgot to call sg_free_table(sgt) and kfree(sgt).
 */

KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, gem_obj->size, TEST_SIZE);
KUNIT_EXPECT_NULL(test, gem_obj->filp);
KUNIT_EXPECT_NOT_NULL(test, gem_obj->funcs);

/*
 * And here we have to handle the case where the expectation was wrong,
 * but the test still continued.
 */

But if you're not using an action, you still have to call kfree(sgt),
which means that you might still

shmem = to_drm_gem_shmem_obj(gem_obj);
KUNIT_ASSERT_PTR_EQ(test, shmem->sgt, sgt);

/*
 * If the assertion fails, we now have to call drm_gem_shmem_free(shmem)
 */

/* The scatter/gather table is freed by drm_gem_shmem_free */
drm_gem_shmem_free(shmem);

/* everything's fine now */

The semantics around drm_gem_shmem_free make it a bit convoluted, but
doing it using goto/labels, plus handling the assertions and error
reporting would be difficult.

Using actions, we have:

sgt = kzalloc(sizeof(*sgt), GFP_KERNEL);
KUNIT_ASSERT_NOT_NULL(test, sgt);

ret = kunit_add_action_or_reset(test, kfree_wrapper, sgt);
KUNIT_ASSERT_EQ(test, ret, 0);

ret = sg_alloc_table(sgt, 1, GFP_KERNEL);
KUNIT_ASSERT_EQ(test, ret, 0);

ret = kunit_add_action_or_reset(test, sg_free_table_wrapper, sgt);
KUNIT_ASSERT_EQ(test, ret, 0);

sg_init_one(sgt->sgl, buf, TEST_SIZE);

gem_obj = drm_gem_shmem_prime_import_sg_table(&fdev->drm_dev, &attach_mock, sgt);
KUNIT_ASSERT_NOT_ERR_OR_NULL(test, gem_obj);
KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, gem_obj->size, TEST_SIZE);
KUNIT_EXPECT_NULL(test, gem_obj->filp);
KUNIT_EXPECT_NOT_NULL(test, gem_obj->funcs);

/* drm_gem_shmem_free will free the struct sg_table itself */
kunit_remove_action(test, sg_free_table_wrapper, sgt);
kunit_remove_action(test, kfree_wrapper, sgt);

shmem = to_drm_gem_shmem_obj(gem_obj);
KUNIT_ASSERT_PTR_EQ(test, shmem->sgt, sgt);

ret = kunit_add_action_or_reset(test, drm_gem_shmem_free_wrapper, shmem);
KUNIT_ASSERT_EQ(test, ret, 0);

The last one is arguable, but for the previous ones it makes error
handling much more convenient and easy to reason about.

The wrappers are also a bit inconvenient to use, but it's mostly there
to avoid a compiler warning at the moment.

This patch will help hopefully:
