Filters

Filters are implemented in kernelci.config.base and all have a match() method to determine whether a set of configuration options are compatible with the filter definition. It will basically return True if the options match the filter or False otherwise.

There are several types of filters:

• passlist to only run a test if all the filter conditions are met

  - passlist: {defconfig: ['bcm2835_defconfig']}

In this example, the filter will return True if bcm2835_defconfig is in the defconfig name.

• blocklist to not run a test if any of the filter conditions is met

  - blocklist: {lab: ['lab-baylibre']}

In this example, the filter will return False if lab-baylibre is in the lab name.

• combination to only run a test if a given set of values is present in the filter conditions

  - combination: &arch_defconfig_filter
      keys: ['arch', 'defconfig']
      values:
        - ['arm', 'multi_v7_defconfig']
        - ['arm64', 'defconfig']
        - ['x86', 'x86_64_defconfig']

In this example, the filter will return True only if the provided arch and defconfig pair exactly matches one of the 3 defined combinations defined in values.
