| |
This provides kernel modules that can be used to test the error handling of notifier call chain failures by injecting artifical errors to the following notifier chain callbacks.
* CPU notifier * PM notifier * memory hotplug notifier * powerpc pSeries reconfig notifier
Example: Inject CPU offline error (-1 == -EPERM)
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu # echo -1 > actions/CPU_DOWN_PREPARE/error # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted
There are also handy shell scripts to test CPU and memory hotplug notifier. Note that these tests didn't detect error handling bugs on my machine but I still think this feature is usefull to test the code path which is rarely executed.
Changelog:
* v4 (It is about 11 months since v3) - prefix all APIs with notifier_err_inject_* - rearrange debugfs interface (e.g. $DEBUGFS/cpu-notifier-error-inject/CPU_DOWN_PREPARE --> $DEBUGFS/notifier-error-inject/cpu/actions/CPU_DOWN_PREPARE/error) - update modules to follow new interface - add -r option for memory-notifier.sh to specify percent of offlining memory blocks
* v3 - rewrite to be kernel modules instead of initializing at late_initcall()s (it makes the diffstat look different but most code remains unchanged) - export err_inject_notifier_block_{init,cleanup} for modules - export pSeries_reconfig_notifier_{,un}register symbols for a module - notifier priority can be specified as a module parameter - add testing scripts in tools/testing/fault-injection
* v2 - "PM: Improve error code of pm_notifier_call_chain()" is now in -next - "debugfs: add debugfs_create_int" is dropped - put a comment in err_inject_notifier_block_init() - only allow valid errno to be injected (-MAX_ERRNO <= errno <= 0) - improve Kconfig help text - make CONFIG_PM_NOTIFIER_ERROR_INJECTION visible even if PM_DEBUG is disabled - make CONFIG_PM_NOTIFIER_ERROR_INJECTION default if PM_DEBUG is enabled
