[PATCH] fault-injection capability for disk IO
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.
