[PATCH 1/2 -mm] fault-injection: safer defaults, trivialoptimization, cleanup
From: Don Mullis
Date: Tue Nov 28 2006 - 02:52:14 EST
Set /debug/fail*/* defaults supposed most likely to please a new user.
Clamp /debug/fail*/stacktrace-depth to MAX_STACK_TRACE_DEPTH.
In should_fail(), move stack-unwinding test past cheaper tests (performance
gain not quantified). Simplify logic; eliminate goto.
Use bool/true/false consistently.
Correct and disambiguate documentation.
