NVMe Fault Injection
====================
Linux's fault injection framework provides a systematic way to support
error injection via debugfs in the /sys/kernel/debug directory. When
enabled, the default NVME_SC_INVALID_OPCODE with no retry will be
injected into the nvme_try_complete_req. Users can change the default status
code and no retry flag via the debugfs. The list of Generic Command
Status can be found in include/linux/nvme.h

Following examples show how to inject an error into the nvme.

First, enable CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_DEBUG_FS kernel config,
recompile the kernel. After booting up the kernel, do the
following.

Example 1: Inject default status code with no retry
---------------------------------------------------

::

  mount /dev/nvme0n1 /mnt
  echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/nvme0n1/fault_inject/times
  echo 100 > /sys/kernel/debug/nvme0n1/fault_inject/probability
  cp a.file /mnt

Expected Result::

  cp: cannot stat ‘/mnt/a.file’: Input/output error

Example 2: Inject default status code with retry
------------------------------------------------

::

  mount /dev/nvme0n1 /mnt
  echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/nvme0n1/fault_inject/times
  echo 100 > /sys/kernel/debug/nvme0n1/fault_inject/probability
  echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/nvme0n1/fault_inject/status
  echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/nvme0n1/fault_inject/dont_retry

  cp a.file /mnt

Expected Result::

  command success without error

Example 3: Inject an error into the 10th admin command
------------------------------------------------------

::

  echo 100 > /sys/kernel/debug/nvme0/fault_inject/probability
  echo 10 > /sys/kernel/debug/nvme0/fault_inject/space
  echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/nvme0/fault_inject/times
  nvme reset /dev/nvme0

Expected Result::

  After NVMe controller reset, the reinitialization may or may not succeed.
  It depends on which admin command is actually forced to fail.
