Thanks. In fact, using md-faulty also do that,but must do more steps. So I think add it in md-faulty.

How about using an iscsi at localhost? Export disk via ISCSI target, 
connect to it with initiator. With iptables and open-iscsi settings you 
can precisely control error behavior and imitate all kinds of errors 
(including timeouts).
