> Subject: [PATCH v3 0/7] test: refactor crypto unit test framework
> 
> The current crypto unit test framework is not granular enough to accurately
> track unit test results. This is caused by one testcase in a suite actually
> running multiple testcases, but only returning one result.
> 
> The approach taken in this patchset allows a test suite have a list of sub-
> testsuites, and/or a list of testcases as previously used.
> 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.
> In the case of a testsuite with both testcases and sub-testsuites, the
> testcases are executed first before iterating through the sub-testsuites.
> 
> 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.
> The introduction of sub-testsuites also allows for more precise
> setup/teardown functions, that can check the capabilities required to run its
> testcases.
> 
> For example, when running the cryptodev_aesni_mb_autotest, the parent
> Cryptodev Test Suite is executed.
> Various sub-testsuites are added to the parent test suite, such as the static
> suites of testcases that were once in the cryptodev_testsuite, and
> blockcipher suites.
> The unit test runner can then run the Cryptodev parent test suite, which in
> turn will run the sub-testsuites.
> 
> The user is now required to create vdevs via EAL commandline args, this is no
> longer done within the test app for crypto autotests.
> 
> Documentation will need to be added at a later stage, adding to the test
> document that isn't yet merged. [1]

> v3:
>   - Added support for a testsuite having both a list of testcases,
>     and a list of sub-testsuites.
>   - Replaced PMD based parent testsuites with a cryptodev testsuite
>     used by all autotests, with the exception of scheduler autotest.
>   - Setup functions were added for all sub-testsuites, within which
>     required capability support is checked.
>   - The setup functions no longer create vdevs if needed,
>     this must be done by the user when running the test.
>   - Patch added to standardise return values for skipped testcases.
> v2:
>   - Added macro in place of testcase/testsuite loops.
>   - Added more detail in the summary output.
>   - Moved testcase counts to the testsuite structure.
>   - Flattened testsuite structure to remove union.
>   - Added patch for fix of blockcipher test return value.
>   - Squashed release note into last patch.
