From c24aa64d169b7224f1a5bc6a4b1365da37ce861b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Akinobu Mita Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2012 14:43:20 -0700 Subject: fault-injection: add tool to run command with failslab or fail_page_alloc This adds tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh to run a command while injecting slab/page allocation failures via fault injection. Example: Run a command "make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests" with injecting slab allocation failure. # ./tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh \ -- make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests Same as above except to specify 100 times failures at most instead of one time at most by default. # ./tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh --times=100 \ -- make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests Same as above except to inject page allocation failure instead of slab allocation failure. # env FAILCMD_TYPE=fail_page_alloc \ ./tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh --times=100 \ -- make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests Signed-off-by: Akinobu Mita Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- Documentation/fault-injection/fault-injection.txt | 27 +++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 27 insertions(+) (limited to 'Documentation') diff --git a/Documentation/fault-injection/fault-injection.txt b/Documentation/fault-injection/fault-injection.txt index ba4be8b77093..4cf1a2a6bd72 100644 --- a/Documentation/fault-injection/fault-injection.txt +++ b/Documentation/fault-injection/fault-injection.txt @@ -240,3 +240,30 @@ trap "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/$FAILTYPE/probability" SIGINT SIGTERM EXIT echo "Injecting errors into the module $module...
