mm: make should_failslab always available for fault injection should_failslab() is a convenient function to hook into for directed error injection into kmalloc(). However, it is only available if a config flag is set. The following BCC script, for example, fails kmalloc() calls after a btrfs umount: from bcc import BPF prog = r""" BPF_HASH(flag); #include <linux/mm.h> int kprobe__btrfs_close_devices(void *ctx) { u64 key = 1; flag.update(&key, &key); return 0; } int kprobe__should_failslab(struct pt_regs *ctx) { u64 key = 1; u64 *res; res = flag.lookup(&key); if (res != 0) { bpf_override_return(ctx, -ENOMEM); } return 0; } """ b = BPF(text=prog) while 1: b.kprobe_poll() This patch refactors the should_failslab implementation so that the function is always available for error injection, independent of flags. This change would be similar in nature to commit f5490d3ec921 ("block: Add should_fail_bio() for bpf error injection").
