selftests/resctrl: Skip the test if requested resctrl feature is not supported
There could be two reasons why a resctrl feature might not be enabled on the platform 1. H/W might not support the feature 2. Even if the H/W supports it, the user might have disabled the feature through kernel command line arguments Hence, any resctrl unit test (like cmt, cat, mbm and mba) before starting the test will first check if the feature is enabled on the platform or not. If the feature isn't enabled, then the test returns with an error status. For example, if MBA isn't supported on a platform and if the user tries to run MBA, the output will look like this ok mounting resctrl to "/sys/fs/resctrl" not ok MBA: schemata change But, not supporting a feature isn't a test failure. So, instead of treating it as an error, use the SKIP directive of the TAP protocol. With the change, the output will look as below ok MBA # SKIP Hardware does not support MBA or MBA is disabled Suggested-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Tested-by: Babu Moger <babu.moger@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan <skhan@linuxfoundation.org>
