Merge tag 'ipe-pr-20260925' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wufan/ipegrafted
Pull IPE fixes from Fan Wu:
"Two fixes for use-after-free issues found by recent LLM-assisted code
analysis.
- move successful policy load auditing under the new policy
directory's inode lock, preventing a concurrent policy deletion
from freeing the policy while it is still being audited
- protect the dm-verity root hash with RCU, preventing policy
evaluation from racing with root hash replacement during preresume"

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +============================ +Configurable Error Injection +============================ + +Overview +-------- + +Configurable error injection allows injecting specific block layer status codes +for sector ranges of a block device. Errors can be injected unconditionally, or +with a given probability. + +To use configurable error injection, CONFIG_BLK_ERROR_INJECTION must be enabled. + +The only interface is the error_injection debugfs file, which is created for +each registered gendisk. Writes to this file are used to create or delete rules +and reads return a list of the current error injection sites. + +Options +------- + +The following options specify the operations: + +=================== ======================================================= +add add a new rule +removeall remove all existing rules +=================== ======================================================= + +The following options specify the details of the rule for the add operation: + +=================== ======================================================= +op=<string> block layer operation this rule applies to. This uses + the XYZ for each REQ_OP_XYZ operation, e.g. READ, WRITE + or DISCARD. Mandatory. +status=<string> Status to return. This uses XYZ for each BLK_STS_XYZ + code, e.g. IOERR or MEDIUM. Mandatory. +start=<number> First block layer sector the rule applies to. + Optional, defaults to 0. +nr_sectors=<number> Number of sectors this rule applies. + Optional, defaults to the remainder of the device. +chance=<number> Only return a failure with a likelihood of 1/chance. + Optional, defaults to 1 (always). +=================== ======================================================= + +Example +------- + +Return BLK_STS_IOERR for one in 10 reads of sector 0 of /dev/nvme0n1: + + $ echo 'add,op=READ,start=0,status=IOERR,chance=10' > /sys/kernel/debug/block/nvme0n1/error_injection + +Return BLK_STS_MEDIUM for every write to /dev/nvme0n1: + + $ echo 'add,op=WRITE,start=0,status=MEDIUM' > /sys/kernel/debug/block/nvme0n1/error_injection + +Remove all rules for /dev/nvme0n1: + + $ echo 'removeall' > /sys/kernel/debug/block/nvme0n1/error_injection |
