OK - here I fixed the typos:

Subject: [PATCH] fault-injection: introduce kvmalloc fallback options

This patch introduces a fault-injection option "kvmalloc_fallback". This
option makes kvmalloc randomly fall back to vmalloc.

Unfortunately, some kernel code has bugs - it uses kvmalloc and then
uses DMA-API on the returned memory or frees it with kfree. Such bugs were
found in the virtio-net driver, dm-integrity or RHEL7 powerpc-specific
code. This options helps to test for these bugs.

The patch introduces a config option FAIL_KVMALLOC_FALLBACK_PROBABILITY.
It can be enabled in distribution debug kernels, so that kvmalloc abuse
can be tested by the users. The default can be overridden with
"kvmalloc_fallback" parameter or in /sys/kernel/debug/kvmalloc_fallback/.
