Oh, sure, no problem! I have no attachment to this convention at all; I was trying to follow the Kunit docs: https://docs.kernel.org/dev-tools/kunit/style.html#test-file-and-module-names If I look at the existing naming, it's pretty scattered: $ git grep '^static struct kunit_suite\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u /test/* 7 /tests/* 47 *-test.[ch] 27 *_test.[ch] 27 test-*.c 1 test_*.c 10 *-kunit.c 1 *_kunit.c 17 kunit-*.c 2 kunit_*.c 1 Should we go with "put it all under a 'tests' subdirectory" ? So for fs/exec_test.c and fs/binfmt_elf_test.c, perhaps fs/tests/exec.c and fs/tests/binfmt_elf.c respectively? And for the lib/*_kunit.c files, use lib/tests/*.c ? Then we can update the docs, etc. -- Kees Cook
