2018-10-12dm flakey: Document "error_writes" featureNikolay Borisov
Commit ef548c551e72 ("dm flakey: introduce "error_writes" feature") added the ability to dm flakey to error out writes in contrast to silently dropping it with 'drop_writes'. Unfortunately this feature is not currently documented and one has to be either familiar with the source code of dm flakey or check out xfstests sources to know of this parameter. So document it.

2016-08-07block: rename bio bi_rw to bi_opfJens Axboe
Since commit 63a4cc24867d, bio->bi_rw contains flags in the lower portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger, rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break at compile time instead of at runtime. No intended functional changes in this commit.

Add corrupt_bio_byte feature to simulate corruption by overwriting a byte at a specified position with a specified value during intervals when the device is "down". Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
2011-08-02dm flakey: add drop_writesMike Snitzer

2011-03-24dm: add flakey targetJosef Bacik
This target is the same as the linear target except that it returns I/O errors periodically. It's been found useful in simulating failing devices for testing purposes. I needed a dm target to do some failure testing on btrfs's raid code, and Mike pointed me at this. Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
