[patch 5/7] fault-injection capability for disk IO

From: Akinobu Mita
Date: Wed Nov 08 2006 - 12:48:12 EST


From: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch provides fault-injection capability for disk IO.

Boot option:

fail_make_request=<probability>,<interval>,<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 disk IO can be issued
safely in bytes.

<times> -- specifies how many times failures may happen at most.

Debugfs:

/debug/fail_make_request/interval
/debug/fail_make_request/probability
/debug/fail_make_request/specifies
/debug/fail_make_request/times

Example:

fail_make_request=10,100,0,-1
echo 1 > /sys/blocks/hda/hda1/make-it-fail

generic_make_request() on /dev/hda1 fails once per 10 times.
