Fault injection uses debugfs in a way that the provided values via
sysfs are interpreted as u64. Providing negative numbers results in
an error:

    # cd sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/memory
    #  echo -12 > actions/MEM_GOING_ONLINE/error
    -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

Update the docs and examples to use "printf %#x <val>" in these cases.

I'd rather fix the notifier-error-inject module than change the user
interface.
I'll send a patch, so could you check if that solves the problem.


That will also make patch #2 unnecessary, correct?

Yes. But there is another commit 005747526d4f3c2ec995891e95cb7625161022f9 that has the same problem.

Thanks!

Right. See my reply to the other patch:

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/93c044ca-7d2f-e23f-8eb4-72c133737a15@xxxxxxxxxx

simple_attr_read()/simple_attr_write() fmt behavior is odd.
