[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.
