  • 8b88b0998   libfs: allow error return from simple attributes ... Browse Code »

    Sometimes simple attributes might need to return an error, e.g. for
    acquiring a mutex interruptibly. In fact we have that situation in
    spufs already which is the original user of the simple attributes. This
    patch merged the temporarily forked attributes in spufs back into the
    main ones and allows to return errors.

    Simplify the stacktrace code:

    - remove the unused task argument to save_stack_trace, it's always
    current
    - remove the all_contexts flag, it's alwasy 0

  • 1df49008f   [PATCH] fault injection: split up stacktrace filter Kconfig option ... Browse Code »

    There is no prompt for CONFIG_STACKTRACE, so FAULT_INJECTION cannot be
    selected without LOCKDEP enabled. (found by Paolo 'Blaisorblade'
    Giarrusso)

    In order to fix such broken Kconfig dependency, this patch splits up the
    stacktrace filter support for fault injection by new Kconfig option, which
    enables to use fault injection on the architecture which doesn't have
    general stacktrace support.

  • d1526e2cd   Remove stack unwinder for now ... Browse Code »

    It has caused more problems than it ever really solved, and is
    apparently not getting cleaned up and fixed. We can put it back when
    it's stable and isn't likely to make warning or bug events worse.

    In the meantime, enable frame pointers for more readable stack traces.

    Trivial optimization and simplification of should_fail().

    Do cheaper disqualification tests first (performance gain not quantified).
    Simplify logic; eliminate goto.

  • 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
