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 ???
Yes, all three options are required.
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

Agree with your diagnosis. My gramma is bad and I've forget to call spell check
before submission. Should I resend this one or you fix it manually
on commit time?
No worries, I'm sure your English is much better than any of my attempts
to write in your native tongue. ;)
No need to resend, glad to take care of these minor changes at commit time.

xfstests: add disk failure simulation test
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 catch

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 injection (CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION=y,
CONFIG_FAIL_MAKE_REQUEST=y and CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_DEBUG_FS=y config
options) to force all new IO requests to fail for a given device. Xfs
already has XFS_IOC_GOINGDOWN ioctl which provides similar
behavior, but it
is fs specific and it does it in an easy way because it performs
freeze_bdev()
before actual shutdown.
Test run fsstress in background and then force disk failure.
Once disk failed it check that (1)-(4) is true.
Then makes disk available again and check that (5)-(7) is also true
BE CAREFUL!! test known to cause memory corruption for XFS
