2012-07-30memory: memory notifier error injection moduleAkinobu Mita1-0/+48
This provides the ability to inject artifical errors to memory hotplug notifier chain callbacks. It is controlled through debugfs interface under /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/memory If the notifier call chain should be failed with some events notified, write the error code to "actions/<notifier event>/error". Example: Inject memory hotplug offline error (-12 == -ENOMEM) # cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/memory # echo -12 > actions/MEM_GOING_OFFLINE/error # echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX/state bash: echo: write error: Cannot allocate memory Signed-off-by: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com> Cc: Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz> Cc: "Rafael J.
