1NVMe Fault Injection
2====================
3Linux's fault injection framework provides a systematic way to support
4error injection via debugfs in the /sys/kernel/debug directory. When
5enabled, the default NVME_SC_INVALID_OPCODE with no retry will be
6injected into the nvme_end_request. Users can change the default status
7code and no retry flag via the debugfs. The list of Generic Command
8Status can be found in include/linux/nvme.h
9
10Following examples show how to inject an error into the nvme.
11
12First, enable CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_DEBUG_FS kernel config,
13recompile the kernel. After booting up the kernel, do the
14following.

16Example 1: Inject default status code with no retry
17---------------------------------------------------

19::

21  mount /dev/nvme0n1 /mnt
22  echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/nvme0n1/fault_inject/times
23  echo 100 > /sys/kernel/debug/nvme0n1/fault_inject/probability
24  cp a.file /mnt
25
26Expected Result::
27
28  cp: cannot stat ‘/mnt/a.file’: Input/output error

122Example 3: Inject an error into the 10th admin command
123------------------------------------------------------
124
125::
126
127  echo 100 > /sys/kernel/debug/nvme0/fault_inject/probability
128  echo 10 > /sys/kernel/debug/nvme0/fault_inject/space
129  echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/nvme0/fault_inject/times
130  nvme reset /dev/nvme0
131
132Expected Result::
133
134  After NVMe controller reset, the reinitialization may or may not succeed.
135  It depends on which admin command is actually forced to fail.
