      lib/scatterlist: do not re-write gfp_flags in __sg_alloc_table() · e04f2283
      Mandeep Singh Baines authored
      
      
      We are seeing a lot of sg_alloc_table allocation failures using the new
      drm prime infrastructure.  We isolated the cause to code in
      __sg_alloc_table that was re-writing the gfp_flags.
      
      There is a comment in the code that suggest that there is an assumption
      about the allocation coming from a memory pool.  This was likely true
      when sg lists were primarily used for disk I/O.

      fault-injection: add tool to run command with failslab or fail_page_alloc · c24aa64d
      Akinobu Mita authored
      
      
      This adds tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh to run a command while
      injecting slab/page allocation failures via fault injection.
      
      Example:
      
      Run a command "make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests" with
      injecting slab allocation failure.
      
      	# ./tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh \
      		-- make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests
      
      Same as above except to specify 100 times failures at most instead of
      one time at most by default.
      
      	# ./tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh --times=100 \
      		-- make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests
      
      Same as above except to inject page allocation failure instead of slab
      allocation failure.
      
      	# env FAILCMD_TYPE=fail_page_alloc \
      		./tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh --times=100 \
      		-- make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests

      Akinobu Mita authored
      
      
      This provides the ability to inject artifical errors to pSeries reconfig
      notifier chain callbacks.  It is controlled through debugfs interface
      under /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/pSeries-reconfig
      
      If the notifier call chain should be failed with some events
      notified, write the error code to "actions/<notifier event>/error".
