[PATCH -next v2 1/5] docs: notifier-error-inject: fix non-working usage of negative values

[Zhao Gongyi]

Fault injection uses debugfs in a way that the provided values via
sysfs are interpreted as u64. Providing negative numbers results in
an error:

  # cd sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/memory
  #  echo -12 > actions/MEM_GOING_ONLINE/error
  -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

Update the docs and examples to use "printf %#x <val>" in these cases.

I'd rather fix the notifier-error-inject module than change the user interface.
I'll send a patch, so could you check if that solves the problem.

That will also make patch #2 unnecessary, correct?

[PATCH -next v2 2/5] selftests/memory-hotplug: Use 'printf' instead of 'echo'

[Zhao Gongyi]

Fault injection uses debugfs in a way that the provided values via
sysfs are interpreted as u64. Providing negative numbers results
in errors:

[PATCH -next v2 3/5] selftests/memory-hotplug: Add checking after online or offline

[Zhao Gongyi]

Add checking for online_memory_expect_success()/
offline_memory_expect_success()/offline_memory_expect_fail(), or
the test would exit 0 although the functions return 1.
