Now we can test ext4's reliability by simulating fail facility introduced
in commit 46f870d690fe ("ext4: simulate various I/O and checksum errors
when reading metadata"), it can simulate checksum error or I/O error
when reading metadata from disk. But it is functional limited, it cannot
set failure times, probability, filters, etc. Fortunately, we already
have common fault-injection frame in Linux, so above limitation could be
easily supplied by using it in ext4. This patch set add ext4
fault-injection facility to replace the old frame, supply some kinds of
checksum error and I/O error, and also add group, inode, physical
block and inode logical block filters. After this patch set, we could
inject failure more precisly. The facility could be used to do fuzz
stress test include random errors, and it also could be used to
reprodece issues more conveniently.
Patch 1: add debugfs for preparing.
Patch 2: introduce the fault-injection frame for ext4.
Patch 3-11: add various kinds of faults and also do some cleanup.
Patch 12: remove the old simulating facility.
It provides a debugfs interface in ext4/<disk>/fault_inject, besides the
common config interfaces, we give 6 more.
- available_faults: present available faults we can inject.
- inject_faults: set faults, can set multiple at a time.
- inject_inode: set the inode filter, matches all inodes if not set.
- inject_group: set the block group filter, similar to inject_inode.
- inject_logical_block: set the logical block filter for one inode.
- inject_physical_block: set the physical block filter.
Current we add 20 available faults list below, include 8 kinds of
metadata checksum error, 7 metadata I/O error and 5 journal error.
After we have this facility, more other faults could be added easily
in the future.
- group_desc_checksum
- inode_bitmap_checksum
- block_bitmap_checksum
- inode_checksum
- extent_block_checksum
- dir_block_checksum
- dir_index_block_checksum
- xattr_block_checksum
- inode_bitmap_eio
- block_bitmap_eio
- inode_eio
- extent_block_eio
- dir_block_eio
- xattr_block_eio
- symlink_block_eio
- journal_start
- journal_start_sb
- journal_get_create_access
- journal_get_write_access
- journal_dirty_metadata
For example: inject inode metadata checksum error on file 'foo'.
$ mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/pmem0
$ mount /dev/pmem0 /mnt
$ mkdir /mnt/dir
$ touch /mnt/dir/foo
$ ls -i /mnt/dir/foo
262146 /mnt/foo
$ echo 100 > /sys/kernel/debug/ext4/pmem0/fault_inject/probability
$ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/ext4/pmem0/fault_inject/times
$ echo 262146 > /sys/kernel/debug/ext4/pmem0/fault_inject/inject_inode
$ echo inode_checksum > /sys/kernel/debug/ext4/pmem0/fault_inject/inject_faults
$ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/ext4/pmem0/fault_inject/enable
$ echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches ##drop cache
$ stat /mnt/dir/foo
stat: cannot statx '/mnt/dir/foo': Bad message
The kmesg print the injection location.
