Subject: [PATCH] fault-inject: Avoid call to random32() if fault injection is disabled
Date: Fri, 1 Jun 2012 10:49:25 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120601104925.5135263c@kryten> (raw)


After enabling CONFIG_FAILSLAB I noticed random32 in profiles even
if slub fault injection wasn't enabled at runtime.

should_fail forces a comparison against random32() even if
probability is 0:

        if (attr->probability <= random32() % 100)
                return false;

Add a check up front for probability == 0 and avoid all of the more
complicated checks.
