[PATCH] fault injection: documentation and scripts
This patch set provides some fault-injection capabilities.
- kmalloc() failures
- alloc_pages() failures
- disk IO errors
We can see what really happens if those failures happen.
In order to enable these fault-injection capabilities:
1. Enable relevant config options (CONFIG_FAILSLAB, CONFIG_PAGE_ALLOC,
CONFIG_MAKE_REQUEST) and if you want to configure them via debugfs,
enable CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_DEBUG_FS.
2. Build and boot with this kernel
3. Configure fault-injection capabilities behavior by boot option or debugfs
- Boot option
failslab=
fail_page_alloc=
fail_make_request=
- Debugfs
/debug/failslab/*
/debug/fail_page_alloc/*
/debug/fail_make_request/*
Please refer to the Documentation/fault-injection/fault-injection.txt
for details.
4. See what really happens.
