Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 3/3] error-injection: Introduce parent in fei_attr
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 10:12:29 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260724021229.47302-4-chensong_2000@126.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260724021229.47302-1-chensong_2000@126.com>
Add a parent field to fei_attr to allow fault injection on a function
only when called from a specific parent function. This enables more
precise fault injection control, for example, injecting failures into
btrfs_data_csum_ok() only when called from btrfs_check_read_bio(),
not from btrfs_end_repair_bio().
Introduce fei_return_address() in each architecture's error-injection.c
(x86, arm64, riscv, loongarch) to retrieve the return address from
pt_regs in a kprobe handler, following the same pattern as the existing
override_function_with_return(). A new parent debugfs file is added
under /sys/kernel/debug/fail_function/<func>/ to configure the filter.
Usage:
echo "btrfs_data_csum_ok" > /sys/kernel/debug/fail_function/inject
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/fail_function/btrfs_data_csum_ok/retval
echo 100 > /sys/kernel/debug/fail_function/probability
echo 10 > /sys/kernel/debug/fail_function/times
echo "btrfs_check_read_bio" > \
/sys/kernel/debug/fail_function/btrfs_data_csum_ok/parent
To clear the parent filter:
echo "" > /sys/kernel/debug/fail_function/btrfs_data_csum_ok/parent
