There are many situations where disk may fail for example
1) brutal usb dongle unplug
2) iscsi (or any other netbdev) failure due to network issues
In this situation filesystem which use this blockdevice is
expected to fail(force RO remount, abort, etc) but whole system
should still be operational. In other words:
1) Kernel should not panic
2) Memory should not leak
3) Data integrity operations (sync,fsync,fdatasync, directio) should fail
for affected filesystem
4) It should be possible to umount broken filesystem
Later when disk becomes available again we expect(only for journaled filesystems):
5) It will be possible to mount filesystem w/o explicit fsck (in order to caught
typo s/caught/catch/g
issues like https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1983981/)
6) Filesystem should be operational
7) After mount/umount has being done all errors should be fixed so fsck should
not spot any issues.
This test use fault enjection (CONFIG_FAIL_MAKE_REQUEST=y config option )
May want to mention all the kernel config options required.
i.e. CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION=y ... are there others?
CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_DEBUG_FS=y ???
which force all new IO requests to fail for a given device. Xfs already has
to force
XFS_IOC_GOINGDOWN ioctl which provides similar behaviour, but it is fs speciffic

because it perform freeze_bdev() before actual
shotdown.

Test run fsstress in background and then force disk failure.
Once disk failed it check that (1)-(4) is true.
Once the disk fails, check that (1)-(4) are true.
Then makes disk available again and check that (5)-(7) is also true
make the disk ... are
BE CAREFUL!! test known to cause memory corruption for XFS
