Subject: [PATCH] fault-injection capability for kmalloc
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.20-rc1~34^2~134
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8a8b6502fb669c3a0638a08955442814cedc86b1;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

[PATCH] fault-injection capability for kmalloc

This patch provides fault-injection capability for kmalloc.

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.
