[PATCH v3 2/6] cpu: rewrite cpu-notifier-error-inject module

From: Akinobu Mita
Date: Sat Jul 23 2011 - 04:49:58 EST


Rewrite existing cpu-notifier-error-inject module to use debugfs based
brand-new framework.

This change removes cpu_up_prepare_error and cpu_down_prepare_error module
parameters which were used to specify error code to be injected. We could
keep these module parameters for backward compatibility by module_param_cb
but it seems overkill for this module.

This provides the ability to inject artifical errors to CPU notifier chain
callbacks. It is controlled through debugfs interface under
/sys/kernel/debug/cpu-notifier-error-inject/

Each of the files in the directory represents an event which can be failed
and contains the error code. If the notifier call chain should be failed
with some events notified, write the error code to the files.

Example1: inject CPU offline error (-1 == -EPERM)

# echo -1 > /sys/kernel/debug/cpu-notifier-error-inject/CPU_UP_PREPARE
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted

Example2: inject CPU online error (-2 == -ENOENT)

# echo -2 > /sys/kernel/debug/cpu-notifier-error-inject/CPU_DOWN_PREPARE
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
bash: echo: write error: No such file or directory

* v3
- rewrite to be kernel modules instead of initializing at late_initcall()s
- notifier priority can be specified as a module parameter

This option provides a kernel module that can be used to test
- the error handling of the cpu notifiers
+ the error handling of the cpu notifiers by injecting artifical
+ errors to CPU notifier chain callbacks. It is controlled through
+ debugfs interface under /sys/kernel/debug/cpu-notifier-error-inject
+
+ Each of the files in the directory represents an event which can be
+ failed and contains the error code. If the notifier call chain
+ should be failed with some events notified, write the error code to
+ the files.
+
+ Example: Inject CPU offline error (-1 == -EPERM)
+
+ # cd /sys/kernel/debug/cpu-notifier-error-inject
+ # echo -1 > CPU_UP_PREPARE
+ # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
+ bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted

To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will
be called cpu-notifier-error-inject.
