Since CHANGEUPPER can now fail, add support for it in the newly introduced netdev notifier error injection infrastructure.

2015-12-01net: add support for netdev notifier error injectionNikolay Aleksandrov1-0/+54
This module allows to insert errors in some of netdevice's notifier events. All network drivers use these notifiers to signal various events and to check if they are allowed, e.g. PRECHANGEMTU and CHANGEMTU afterwards. Until recently I had to run failure tests by injecting a custom module, but now this infrastructure makes it trivial to test these failure paths. Some of the recent bugs I fixed were found using this module. Here's an example: $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/netdev $ echo -22 > actions/NETDEV_CHANGEMTU/error $ ip link set eth0 mtu 1024 RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument CC: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com> CC: "David S.
