2021-06-14docs: fault-injection: fix non-working usage of negative valuesGravatar Wolfram Sang 1-10/+14
Fault injection uses debugfs in a way that the provided values via sysfs are interpreted as u64. Providing negative numbers results in an error: /sys/kernel/debug/fail_function# echo -1 > times sh: write error: Invalid argument Update the docs and examples to use "printf %#x <val>" in these cases. For "retval", reword the paragraph a little and fix a typo.

2020-10-16lib, include/linux: add usercopy failure capabilityGravatar Albert van der Linde 1-1/+6
Patch series "add fault injection to user memory access", v3. The goal of this series is to improve testing of fault-tolerance in usages of user memory access functions, by adding support for fault injection. syzkaller/syzbot are using the existing fault injection modes and will use this particular feature also. The first patch adds failure injection capability for usercopy functions. The second changes usercopy functions to use this new failure capability (copy_from_user, ...). The third patch adds get/put/clear_user failures to x86. This patch (of 3): Add a failure injection capability to improve testing of fault-tolerance in usages of user memory access functions. Add CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_USERCOPY to enable faults in usercopy functions. The should_fail_usercopy function is to be called by these functions (copy_from_user, get_user, ...) in order to fail or not.

2020-07-01block: rename generic_make_request to submit_bio_noacctGravatar Christoph Hellwig 1-1/+1
generic_make_request has always been very confusingly misnamed, so rename it to submit_bio_noacct to make it clear that it is submit_bio minus accounting and a few checks. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2019-06-14docs: fault-injection: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rstGravatar Mauro Carvalho Chehab 1-0/+446
The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
