[patch 2/6] fault-injection capability for kmalloc.

[Akinobu Mita <mita@miraclelinux.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: failslab.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2972 bytes --]

This patch provides fault-injection capability for kmalloc.

Boot option:

	failslab=<probability>,<interval>,<times>,<space>

	<probability>

		specifies how often it should fail in percent.

	<interval>

		specifies the interval of failures.

	<times>

		specifies how many times failures may happen at most.

	<space>

		specifies the size of free space where memory can be allocated
		safely in bytes.

Example:

	failslab=100,10,-1,0

slab allocation (kmalloc, kmem_cache_alloc,..) fails once per 10 times.
