The patch titled Subject: fault-inject: avoid call to random32() if fault injection is disabled has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was fault-inject-avoid-call-to-random32-if-fault-injection-is-disabled.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ From: Anton Blanchard <anton@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: fault-inject: avoid call to random32() if fault injection is disabled After enabling CONFIG_FAILSLAB I noticed random32 in profiles even if slub fault injection wasn't enabled at runtime. should_fail forces a comparison against random32() even if probability is 0: if (attr->probability <= random32() % 100) return false; Add a check up front for probability == 0 and avoid all of the more complicated checks.
