The patch titled
Subject: mm/page_alloc.c: allow error injection
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-page_allocc-allow-error-injection.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Benjamin Poirier <bpoirier@xxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/page_alloc.c: allow error injection
Model call chain after should_failslab(). Likewise, we can now use a
kprobe to override the return value of should_fail_alloc_page() and inject
allocation failures into alloc_page*().
This will allow injecting allocation failures using the BCC tools even
without building kernel with CONFIG_FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC and booting it with a
fail_page_alloc= parameter, which incurs some overhead even when failures
are not being injected. On the other hand, this patch adds an
unconditional call to should_fail_alloc_page() from page allocation
hotpath. That overhead should be rather negligible with
CONFIG_FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC=n when there's no kprobe attached, though.
