I am a fan of fault injection. In fact I added a disconnect fault
injector for RPC that's in the kernel now, and it uses debugfs
as its control interface.

But that was years ago. If I were doing this today, I'd consider
kprobes, since fault injection is generally not something that
is consumed by users or administrators in a distributed kernel.

Have you considered injection via kprobes or eBPF instead of
adding permanent code?
