| 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_end_request. 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 |
| |

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