H A Dnetdev-notifier-error-inject.c02fff96a79775b7adc34eb599fc6b0476ccda520 Sat Nov 28 06:45:28 CST 2015 Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> net: add support for netdev notifier error injection

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
