Known issues: SPI_CS_HIGH and SPI_LSB_FIRST settings in struct spi_device are not handled. Testing: This patch has been test against the "random length, random bits/word, random data (verified on loopback) and stepped baud rate by octaves (3.6MHz to 115kHz)" test. It is robust in PIO mode, using any combination of tx and rx thresholds, and also in DMA mode (which internally computes the thresholds). Much thanks to Ned Forrester for exhaustive reviews, fixes and testing. The driver is substantially better for his efforts.

| * | | [PATCH] fault injection: stacktrace filteringAkinobu Mita2006-12-081-4/+8

The stacktrace filter allows failing only for the caller you are interested in. For example someone may want to inject kmalloc() failures into only e100 module. they want to inject not only direct kmalloc() call, but also indirect allocation, too. - e100_poll --> netif_receive_skb --> packet_rcv_spkt --> skb_clone --> kmem_cache_alloc This patch enables to detect function calls like this by stacktrace and inject failures. The script Documentaion/fault-injection/failmodule.sh helps it. The range of text section of loaded e100 is expected to be [/sys/module/e100/sections/.text, /sys/module/e100/sections/.exit.text) So failmodule.sh stores these values into /debug/failslab/address-start and /debug/failslab/address-end. The maximum stacktrace depth is specified by /debug/failslab/stacktrace-depth. Please see the example that demonstrates how to inject slab allocation failures only for a specific module in Documentation/fault-injection/fault-injection.txt [dwm@meer.net: reject failure if any caller lies within specified range] Signed-off-by: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Don Mullis <dwm@meer.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Boot option: failslab=<interval>,<probability>,<space>,<times> <interval> -- specifies the interval of failures. <probability> -- specifies how often it should fail in percent. <space> -- specifies the size of free space where memory can be allocated safely in bytes. <times> -- specifies how many times failures may happen at most. Debugfs: /debug/failslab/interval /debug/failslab/probability /debug/failslab/specifies /debug/failslab/times /debug/failslab/ignore-gfp-highmem /debug/failslab/ignore-gfp-wait Example: failslab=10,100,0,-1 slab allocation (kmalloc(), kmem_cache_alloc(),..) fails once per 10 times.

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.

The VMI timer code uses this to avoid triggering the pester Mingo code, which probes for some very unusual and broken motherboard routings. It fires 100% of the time when using a paravirtual delay mechanism instead of using a realtime delay, since there is no elapsed real time, and the 4 timer IRQs have not yet been delivered. In addition, it is entirely possible, though improbable, that this bug could surface on real hardware which picks a particularly bad time to enter SMM mode, causing a long latency during one of the timer IRQs. While here, make check_timer be __init.
