[PATCH 1/9] kunit: Add parent kunit for parameterized test context

Tue Jul 29 19:36:39 UTC 2025


Currently, KUnit parameterized tests lack a mechanism
to share resources across individual test invocations
because the same `struct kunit` instance is reused for
each test.

This patch refactors kunit_run_tests() to provide each
parameterized test with its own `struct kunit` instance.
A new parent pointer is added to `struct kunit`, allowing
individual parameterized tests to reference a shared
parent kunit instance. Resources added to this parent
will then be accessible to all individual parameter
test executions.
