2006-12-08[PATCH] fault-injection: defaults likely to please a new userDon Mullis1-0/+1
Assign defaults most likely to please a new user: 1) generate some logging output (verbose=2) 2) avoid injecting failures likely to lock up UI (ignore_gfp_wait=1, ignore_gfp_highmem=1) Signed-off-by: Don Mullis <[email protected]> Cc: Akinobu Mita <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>

2006-12-08[PATCH] fault injection: stacktrace filteringAkinobu Mita1-0/+12
This patch provides stacktrace filtering feature. 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 [[email protected]: reject failure if any caller lies within specified range] Signed-off-by: Akinobu Mita <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Don Mullis <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>
2006-12-08[PATCH] fault injection: process filtering for fault-injection capabilitiesAkinobu Mita1-0/+2
This patch provides process filtering feature. The process filter allows failing only permitted processes by /proc/<pid>/make-it-fail Please see the example that demostrates how to inject slab allocation failures into module init/cleanup code in Documentation/fault-injection/fault-injection.txt Signed-off-by: Akinobu Mita <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>
2006-12-08[PATCH] fault-injection capabilities infrastructureAkinobu Mita1-0/+69
This patch provides base functions implement to fault-injection capabilities. - The function should_fail() is taken from failmalloc-1.0 (http://www.nongnu.org/failmalloc/) [[email protected]: cleanups, comments, add __init] Cc: <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Akinobu Mita <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Don Mullis <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>
