[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.
