# Regression test for kmemleak's per-scan verbose dedup.
#
# Loads samples/kmemleak's helper module to generate orphan allocations
# (some of which share an allocation backtrace), runs a few kmemleak
# scans with verbose printing enabled, and verifies that no two
# "unreferenced object" reports within a single scan share the same
# backtrace - which would mean dedup failed to collapse them.
#
# This test is intentionally permissive: the kmemleak-test module's
# leaks frequently get reported across many separate scans (per-CPU
# chunk reuse, slab freelist pointers, kernel stack residue), so dedup
# may never have anything to fold within one scan. That is not a
# regression. The test only fails when it actually catches dedup not
# happening on input that should have triggered it - i.e. two reports
# with identical backtraces in the same scan.

# leftovers are inherent to the kmemleak-test sample module and are

# output (rather than on the test-specific backtraces) need to be
# robust to that, or this test should be excluded from the run.
