Subject: fault-injection capability for alloc_pages()
From: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@xxxxxxxxx>
This patch provides fault-injection capability for alloc_pages()
Boot option:
fail_page_alloc=<interval>,<probability>,<space>,<times>
<interval> -- specifies the interval of failures.
<probability> -- specifies how often it should fail in percent.
<space> -- specifies the size of free space where memory can be
allocated safely in pages.
<times> -- specifies how many times failures may happen at most.
Debugfs:
/debug/fail_page_alloc/interval
/debug/fail_page_alloc/probability
/debug/fail_page_alloc/specifies
/debug/fail_page_alloc/times
/debug/fail_page_alloc/ignore-gfp-highmem
/debug/fail_page_alloc/ignore-gfp-wait
Example:
fail_page_alloc=10,100,0,-1
The page allocation (alloc_pages(), ...) fails once per 10 times.
