>>
>> The approach taken in this patchset allows a test suite have either a

>> The unit test suite runner can then recursively iterate and run the
>> sub- testsuites, until it reaches a suite with testcases, and it then
>> runs each testcase as it had done previously.
>>
>> By allowing this further breakdown into sub-testsuites, a refactor of
>> the crypto unit tests solves the issue of inaccurate reporting, as
>> sub-testsuites can be used in place of the testcases that had multiple
>> testcases hidden on a sub level.
>> The blockcipher tests previously had these hidden testcases, but are
>> now sub-testsuites that are dynamically created and added to a parent
>> test suite, allowing for each testcase status to be reported directly to the
>runner.
>> The cryptodev test suite is broken down into smaller suites that are
>> used as sub-testsuites, which allows for more flexibility choosing
>> which sub- testsuites should run for the current device autotest.
>> The introduction of sub-testsuites also allows for more precise
>> setup/teardown functions, rather than general ones loaded with
>> conditions as was seen with the initial setup function used for all crypto
>testsuites.
>>
>> For example, when running the cryptodev_aesni_mb_autotest, the AESNI
>> MB parent test suite has its own setup function to initialise the
>> AESNI MB device.
>> Various sub-testsuites are added to the parent test suite, such as
>> some of the static suites that were once in the cryptodev_testsuite,
>> and blockcipher suites.
>> The unit test runner can then run the AESNI MB parent test suite,
>> which in turn will run the sub-testsuites.
>>
>> Documentation will be added in a later version of the patchset, adding
>> to the test document that isn't yet merged. [1]

Thanks for testing this Ruifeng.

I have just sent a v2 of the patchset but didn't add the "Tested-by" tag, as it has quite a number of changes.
I don't think the changes should have affected armv8crypto PMD, but if you could test with the new version that would be really appreciated.

Thanks!
