We want the sub-tests to get executed in-dependent of other tests. ksft_test_result(condition, fmt, ...); ksft_test_result_pass(fmt, ...);" FAIL_TEST_IF_FALSE is a wrapper for ksft_test_result macro, and replacement of assert. Please let me know if you have questions on this and Muhammad might also help to clarify the requirement if needed. Thanks -Jeff
