[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.
