docs: fault-injection: add requirements of error injectable functions

2023-02-03T06:50:00+00:00

Add a section about the requirements of the error injectable functions and
the type of errors.

Since this section must be read before using ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION()
macro, that section is referred from the comment of the macro too.

debugfs: fix error when writing negative value to atomic_t debugfs file

2022-12-01T00:13:16+00:00

The simple attribute files do not accept a negative value since the commit
488dac0c9237 ("libfs: fix error cast of negative value in
simple_attr_write()"), so we have to use a 64-bit value to write a
negative value for a debugfs file created by debugfs_create_atomic_t().

This restores the previous behaviour by introducing
DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE_SIGNED for a signed value.

docs: fault-injection: fix defaults

2022-04-16T08:46:44+00:00

ignore-gfp-wait and ignore-gfp-highmem defaults are actually true (Y) in
both failslab and fail_page_alloc, not false as the docs suggest. See
page_alloc.c:3762 and failslab.c:13

At the same time use 'Y' instead of '1' in the example scripts just for
consistency. (though 1 would work)

Merge tag 'char-misc-5.15-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc

2021-09-01T15:35:06+00:00

Pull char / misc driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of char/misc driver changes for 5.15-rc1.

  Lots of different driver subsystems are being updated in here,
  notably:

   - mhi subsystem update

   - fpga subsystem update

   - coresight/hwtracing subsystem update

   - interconnect subsystem update

   - nvmem subsystem update

   - parport drivers update

   - phy subsystem update

   - soundwire subsystem update

  and there are some other char/misc drivers being updated as well:

   - binder driver additions

   - new misc drivers

   - lkdtm driver updates

   - mei driver updates

   - sram driver updates

   - other minor driver updates.

  Note, there are no habanalabs driver updates in this pull request,
  that will probably come later before -rc1 is out in a different
  request.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  problems"

With the removal of the legacy IDE driver in kb7fb14d3ac63 ("ide: remove
the legacy ide driver"), this crashpoint no longer points to a valid

lkdtm: replace SCSI_DISPATCH_CMD with SCSI_QUEUE_RQ

2021-08-19T05:40:22+00:00

When scsi_dispatch_cmd was moved to scsi_lib.c and made static, some
compilers (i.e., at least gcc 8.4.0) decided to compile this
inline. This is a problem for lkdtm.ko, which inserted a kprobe
on this function for the SCSI_DISPATCH_CMD crashpoint.

Move this crashpoint one function up the call chain to
scsi_queue_rq. Though this is also a static function, it should never be
inlined because it is assigned as a structure entry. Therefore,
kprobe_register should always be able to find it.

docs: fault-injection: fix non-working usage of negative values

2021-06-14T21:58:22+00:00

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 " in these cases.
For "retval", reword the paragraph a little and fix a typo.
