That's a discussion we need to have, yeah. We don't want two distinct fault injection frameworks, we'll have to have a discussion as to whether this is (or can be) better enough to make a switch worthwhile, and whether a compatibility interface is needed - or maybe there's enough distinct interesting bits in both to make merging plausible? The debugfs interface for this fault injection code is necessarily different from our existing fault injection - this gives you a fault injection point _per callsite_, which is huge - e.g. for filesystem testing what I need is to be able to enable fault injection points within a given module. I can do that easily with this, not with our current fault injection. I think the per-callsite fault injection points would also be pretty valuable for CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_USERCOPY, too. OTOH, existing kernel fault injection can filter based on task - this fault injection framework doesn't have that. Easy enough to add, though. Similar for the interval/probability/ratelimit stuff. fail_function is the odd one out, I'm not sure how that would fit into this model. Everything else I've seen I think fits into this model. Also, it sounds like you're more familiar with our existing fault injection than I am, so if I've misunderstood anything about what it can do please do correct me. Interestingly: I just discovered from reading the code that CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_STACKTRACE_FILTER is a thing (hadn't before because it depends on !X86_64 - what?). That's cool, though.
