From 40804c4974b8df2adab72f6475d343eaff72b7f6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shuvam Pandey Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2026 21:14:10 +0545 Subject: kunit: tool: copy caller args in run_kernel to prevent mutation run_kernel() appended KUnit flags directly to the caller-provided args list. When exec_tests() calls run_kernel() repeatedly (e.g. with --run_isolated), each call mutated the same list, causing later runs to inherit stale filter_glob values and duplicate kunit.enable flags. Fix this by copying args at the start of run_kernel(). Add a regression test that calls run_kernel() twice with the same list and verifies the original remains unchanged.
