[PATCH 0/4] KVM: selftests: Improve error handling when opening files

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Fri May 16 2025 - 17:59:26 EST


Improve selftests' error reporting when opening a file fails, e.g. so that
failure to access a module param spits out a message about KVM not being
loaded, instead of a cryptic message about a param not being supported.

Sean Christopherson (4):
KVM: selftests: Verify KVM is loaded when getting a KVM module param
KVM: selftests: Add __open_path_or_exit() variant to provide extra
help info
KVM: selftests: Play nice with EACCES errors in open_path_or_exit()
KVM: selftests: Print a more helpful message for EACCESS in access
tracking test
