+Fault injection capabilities infrastructure
+===========================================
+
+See also drivers/md/faulty.c and "every_nth" module option for scsi_debug.
+
+
+Available fault injection capabilities
+--------------------------------------
+
+o failslab
+
+  injects slab allocation failures. (kmalloc(), kmem_cache_alloc(), ...)
+
+o fail_page_alloc
+
+  injects page allocation failures. (alloc_pages(), get_free_pages(), ...)
+
+o fail_make_request
+
+  injects disk IO errors on devices permitted by setting
+  /sys/block/<device>/make-it-fail or
+  /sys/block/<device>/<partition>/make-it-fail. (generic_make_request())
+
+Configure fault-injection capabilities behavior
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+o debugfs entries
+
+fault-inject-debugfs kernel module provides some debugfs entries for runtime
+configuration of fault-injection capabilities.
+
+- /debug/fail*/probability:
+
+	likelihood of failure injection, in percent.
+	Format: <percent>
+
+	Note that one-failure-per-hundred is a very high error rate
+	for some testcases.  Consider setting probability=100 and configure
+	/debug/fail*/interval for such testcases.
+
+- /debug/fail*/interval:
+
+	specifies the interval between failures, for calls to
+	should_fail() that pass all the other tests.
+
+	Note that if you enable this, by setting interval>1, you will
+	probably want to set probability=100.
+
+- /debug/fail*/times:
+
+	specifies how many times failures may happen at most.
+	A value of -1 means "no limit".
+
+- /debug/fail*/space:
+
+	specifies an initial resource "budget", decremented by "size"
+	on each call to should_fail(,size).  Failure injection is
+	suppressed until "space" reaches zero.
+
+- /debug/fail*/verbose
+
+	Format: { 0 | 1 | 2 }
+	specifies the verbosity of the messages when failure is
+	injected.  '0' means no messages; '1' will print only a single
+	log line per failure; '2' will print a call trace too -- useful
+	to debug the problems revealed by fault injection.
+
+- /debug/fail*/task-filter:
+
+	Format: { 'Y' | 'N' }
+	A value of 'N' disables filtering by process (default).
+	Any positive value limits failures to only processes indicated by
+	/proc/<pid>/make-it-fail==1.
+
+- /debug/fail*/require-start:
+- /debug/fail*/require-end:
+- /debug/fail*/reject-start:
+- /debug/fail*/reject-end:
+
+	specifies the range of virtual addresses tested during
+	stacktrace walking.  Failure is injected only if some caller
+	in the walked stacktrace lies within the required range, and
+	none lies within the rejected range.
+	Default required range is [0,ULONG_MAX) (whole of virtual address space).
+	Default rejected range is [0,0).
+
+- /debug/fail*/stacktrace-depth:
+
+	specifies the maximum stacktrace depth walked during search
+	for a caller within [require-start,require-end) OR
+	[reject-start,reject-end).
+
+- /debug/fail_page_alloc/ignore-gfp-highmem:
+
+	Format: { 'Y' | 'N' }
+	default is 'N', setting it to 'Y' won't inject failures into
+	highmem/user allocations.
+
+- /debug/failslab/ignore-gfp-wait:
+- /debug/fail_page_alloc/ignore-gfp-wait:
+
+	Format: { 'Y' | 'N' }
+	default is 'N', setting it to 'Y' will inject failures
+	only into non-sleep allocations (GFP_ATOMIC allocations).
+
+o Boot option
+
+In order to inject faults while debugfs is not available (early boot time),
+use the boot option:
+
+	failslab=
+	fail_page_alloc=
+	fail_make_request=<interval>,<probability>,<space>,<times>
+
+How to add new fault injection capability
+-----------------------------------------
+
+o #include <linux/fault-inject.h>
+
+o define the fault attributes
+
+  DECLARE_FAULT_INJECTION(name);
+
+  Please see the definition of struct fault_attr in fault-inject.h
+  for details.
+
+o provide a way to configure fault attributes
+
+- boot option
+
+  If you need to enable the fault injection capability from boot time, you can
+  provide boot option to configure it. There is a helper function for it:
+
+	setup_fault_attr(attr, str);
+
+- debugfs entries
+
+  failslab, fail_page_alloc, and fail_make_request use this way.
+  Helper functions:
+
+	init_fault_attr_entries(entries, attr, name);
+	void cleanup_fault_attr_entries(entries);
+
+- module parameters
+
+  If the scope of the fault injection capability is limited to a
+  single kernel module, it is better to provide module parameters to
+  configure the fault attributes.
+
+o add a hook to insert failures
+
+  Upon should_fail() returning true, client code should inject a failure.
+
+	should_fail(attr, size);
+
+Application Examples
