|
========= |
|
|
|
This target is the same as the linear target except that it exhibits |
|
unreliable behaviour periodically. It's been found useful in simulating |
|
failing devices for testing purposes. |
|
|
|
Starting from the time the table is loaded, the device is available for |
|
<up interval> seconds, then exhibits unreliable behaviour for <down |
|
interval> seconds, and then this cycle repeats. |
|
|
|
Also, consider using this in combination with the dm-delay target too, |
|
which can delay reads and writes and/or send them to different |
|
underlying devices. |
|
|
|
Table parameters |
|
---------------- |
|
<dev path> <offset> <up interval> <down interval> \ |
|
[<num_features> [<feature arguments>]] |
|
|
|
Mandatory parameters: |
|
<dev path>: Full pathname to the underlying block-device, or a |
|
"major:minor" device-number. |
|
<offset>: Starting sector within the device. |
|
<up interval>: Number of seconds device is available. |
|
<down interval>: Number of seconds device returns errors. |
|
|
|
Optional feature parameters: |
|
If no feature parameters are present, during the periods of |
|
unreliability, all I/O returns errors. |
|
|
|
drop_writes: |
|
All write I/O is silently ignored. |
|
Read I/O is handled correctly. |
|
|
|
corrupt_bio_byte <Nth_byte> <direction> <value> <flags>: |
|
During <down interval>, replace <Nth_byte> of the data of |
|
each matching bio with <value>. |
|
|
|
<Nth_byte>: The offset of the byte to replace. |
|
Counting starts at 1, to replace the first byte. |
|
<direction>: Either 'r' to corrupt reads or 'w' to corrupt writes. |
|
'w' is incompatible with drop_writes. |
|
<value>: The value (from 0-255) to write. |
|
<flags>: Perform the replacement only if bio->bi_rw has all the |
|
selected flags set. |
|
|
|
Examples: |
|
corrupt_bio_byte 32 r 1 0 |
|
- replaces the 32nd byte of READ bios with the value 1 |
|
|
|
corrupt_bio_byte 224 w 0 32 |
|
- replaces the 224th byte of REQ_META (=32) bios with the value 0
