Messages in this thread Patch in this message | | | From | Andi Kleen <> | Subject | [PATCH] [16/16] HWPOISON: Add simple debugfs interface to inject hwpoison on arbitary PFNs | Date | Fri, 29 May 2009 23:35:42 +0200 (CEST) |
| |
Useful for some testing scenarios, although specific testing is often done better through MADV_POISON
This can be done with the x86 level MCE injector too, but this interface allows it to do independently from low level x86 changes.
Open issues:
Should be disabled for cgroups.
