[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.
