Linux's fault injection framework provides a systematic way to support
error injection via debugfs in the /sys/kernel/debug directory. This
patch uses the framework to add error injection to NVMe driver. The
fault injection source code is stored in a separate file and only linked
if CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_DEBUG_FS kernel config is selected.
Once the error injection is enabled, NVME_SC_INVALID_OPCODE with no
retry will be injected into the nvme_end_request. Users can change
the default status code and no retry flag via debufs. Following example
shows how to enable and inject an error. For more examples, refer to
Documentation/fault-injection/nvme-fault-injection.txt
How to enable nvme fault injection:
First, enable CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_DEBUG_FS kernel config,
recompile the kernel. After booting up the kernel, do the
following.
How to inject an error:
mount /dev/nvme0n1 /mnt
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/nvme0n1/fault_inject/times
echo 100 > /sys/kernel/debug/nvme0n1/fault_inject/probability
cp a.file /mnt
Expected Result:
cp: cannot stat ‘/mnt/a.file’: Input/output error
