From c9d221f86e43d9fb16260fe18a8cd6767f36c8a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Akinobu Mita Date: Wed, 26 May 2010 14:43:36 -0700 Subject: fault-injection: add CPU notifier error injection module I used this module to test the series of modification to the cpu notifiers code. Example1: inject CPU offline error (-1 == -EPERM) # modprobe cpu-notifier-error-inject cpu_down_prepare_error=-1 # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted Example2: inject CPU online error (-2 == -ENOENT) # modprobe cpu-notifier-error-inject cpu_up_prepare_error=-2 # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online bash: echo: write error: No such file or directory [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix Kconfig help text] Signed-off-by: Akinobu Mita Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- lib/Kconfig.debug | 12 ++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+) (limited to 'lib/Kconfig.debug') diff --git a/lib/Kconfig.debug b/lib/Kconfig.debug index 231208948363..e722e9d62221 100644 --- a/lib/Kconfig.debug +++ b/lib/Kconfig.debug @@ -898,6 +898,18 @@ config LKDTM Documentation on how to use the module can be found in Documentation/fault-injection/provoke-crashes.txt +config CPU_NOTIFIER_ERROR_INJECT + tristate "CPU notifier error injection module" + depends on HOTPLUG_CPU && DEBUG_KERNEL + help + This option provides a kernel module that can be used to test + the error handling of the cpu notifiers + + To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will + be called cpu-notifier-error-inject. + + If unsure, say N. + config FAULT_INJECTION bool "Fault-injection framework" depends on DEBUG_KERNEL -- cgit v1.2.3
