[patch 4/6] fault-injection capability for disk IO

From: Akinobu Mita
Date: Thu Aug 31 2006 - 06:06:41 EST


This patch provides fault-injection capability for disk IO.

Boot option:

fail_make_request=<probability>,<interval>,<times>,<space>

<probability>

specifies how often it should fail in percent.

<interval>

specifies the interval of failures.

<times>

specifies how many times failures may happen at most.

<space>

specifies the size of free space where disk IO can be issued
safely in bytes.

Example:

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

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