[PATCH] fault-injection capability for alloc_pages()
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.
