  • 4c13dd3b4   failslab: add ability to filter slab caches ... Browse Code »

    This patch allow to inject faults only for specific slabs.
    In order to preserve default behavior cache filter is off by
    default (all caches are faulty).

    One may define specific set of slabs like this:
    # mark skbuff_head_cache as faulty
    echo 1 > /sys/kernel/slab/skbuff_head_cache/failslab
    # Turn on cache filter (off by default)
    echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/failslab/cache-filter
    # Turn on fault injection
    echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/failslab/times
    echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/failslab/probability

    Currently fault-injection capability for SLAB allocator is only
    available to SLAB. This patch makes it available to SLUB, too.

  • 6b1b60f41   [PATCH] fault-injection: defaults likely to please a new user ... Browse Code »

    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)

  • 329409aed   [PATCH] fault injection: stacktrace filtering ... Browse Code »

    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

    This patch provides process filtering feature.
    The process filter allows failing only permitted processes
    by /proc//make-it-fail

    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/)
