Can you say why you want this new interface? What special scenarios are you trying to test/validate (which could not be achieved based on the current mechanism)? > I am testing a new error handle policy which is based on single scsi_device without set host to RECOVERY. So I need a method to generate errors for single SCSI devices. While we can not generate errors for single device with current mechanism because it is designed for host-wide error generation. > With this series we would have 2x methods to inject errors, which is less than ideal, and they seem to possibly conflict as well, e.g. I set timeout for nth command via current interface and then use the new interface to set timeout for some other cadence. What behavior to expect ...? I did not take this issue in consideration. I now assume the users would not use these 2 methods at same time. What's more, I don not know where to write the usage of this newly added interface, maybe we can explain these in doc? > > I'm not saying that I am a huge fan of the current inject mechanism, but at the very least you need to provide more justification for this series. >>> >> The first patch add an sysfs interface to add and inquiry single >> device's error injection info; the second patch defined how to remove >> an injection which has been added.
