[PATCH RFC] xfs_io: simple bad buf hack to simulate write failure

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hackily use a NULL buffer for the pwrite command to induce a kernel
write syscall failure. This is posted for reference only and needs a
proper implementation: needs a new flag, probably should be wired
through alloc_buffer(), etc.
