Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 4/6] char: mem: expose devmem helpers for KUnit testing
Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2026 13:49:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260212124923.222484-5-gpaoloni@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260212124923.222484-1-gpaoloni@redhat.com>
From: Alessandro Carminati <acarmina@redhat.com>
Refactor selected /dev/mem helpers to allow access from KUnit tests.
This change:
- makes page_is_allowed(), read_mem(), and write_mem() visible when
KUnit is enabled
- moves shared declarations into a new internal header
- preserves existing behavior for non-KUnit builds
Signed-off-by: Alessandro Carminati <acarmina@redhat.com>
