error-injection: Support fault injection framework
Support in-kernel fault-injection framework via debugfs. This allows you to inject a conditional error to specified function using debugfs interfaces. Here is the result of test script described in Documentation/fault-injection/fault-injection.txt =========== # ./test_fail_function.sh 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 1048576 bytes (1.0 MB, 1.0 MiB) copied, 0.0227404 s, 46.1 MB/s btrfs-progs v4.4 See http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org for more information.
