Commit e41d58185f14 made all faults that are triggered from task context, including I/O timeouts, dependent on the failure injection settings for that task. Make it again possible to inject I/O timeout failures independent of task context. An example for a fault injection for which this patch makes a difference (from a VM booted with the 'threadirqs' command line parameter): FAULT_INJECTION: forcing a failure. name fail_io_timeout, interval 1, probability 100, space 0, times 1 CPU: 6 PID: 1253 Comm: irq/36-skd0-msi Not tainted 4.13.0-rc2-dbg+ #5 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.10.2-1.fc26 04/01/2014 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x8e/0xcd should_fail+0x154/0x160 blk_should_fake_timeout+0x27/0x30 blk_mq_complete_request+0x11/0x30 skd_end_request+0x32/0xc0 [skd] skd_isr_completion_posted.isra.30+0x14a/0x400 [skd] skd_comp_q+0x40/0xb0 [skd] irq_forced_thread_fn+0x2a/0x70 irq_thread+0x144/0x1a0 kthread+0x125/0x140 ret_from_fork+0x2a/0x40 Fixes: commit e41d58185f14 ("fault-inject: support systematic fault injection") Signed-off-by: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@xxxxxxx> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- block/blk-timeout.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/block/blk-timeout.c b/block/blk-timeout.c index 17ec83bb0900..2e92b20b125f 100644 --- a/block/blk-timeout.c +++ b/block/blk-timeout.c @@ -11,7 +11,7 @@ #ifdef CONFIG_FAIL_IO_TIMEOUT -static DECLARE_FAULT_ATTR(fail_io_timeout); +static DECLARE_GLOBAL_FAULT_ATTR(fail_io_timeout); static int __init setup_fail_io_timeout(char *str) { -- 2.14.0
