The packet fault injection code present in the HFI1 driver had some issues which not only fragment the code but also created user confusion. Furthermore, it suffered from the following issues: 1. The fault_packet method only worked for received packets. This meant that the only fault injection mode available for sent packets is fault_opcode, which did not allow for random packet drops on all egressing packets. 2. The mask available for the fault_opcode mode did not really work due to the fact that the opcode values are not bits in a bitmask but rather sequential integer values. Creating a opcode/mask pair that would successfully capture a set of packets was nearly impossible. 3. The code was fragmented and used too many debugfs entries to operate and control. This was confusing to users. 4. It did not allow filtering fault injection on a per direction basis - egress vs. ingress. In order to improve or fix the above issues, the following changes have been made: 1. The fault injection methods have been combined into a single fault injection facility. As such, the fault injection has been plugged into both the send and receive code paths. Regardless of method used the fault injection will operate on both egress and ingress packets. 2. The type of fault injection - by packet or by opcode - is now controlled by changing the boolean value of the file "opcode_mode". When the value is set to True, fault injection is done by opcode. Otherwise, by packet. 2. The masking ability has been removed in favor of a bitmap that holds opcodes of interest (one bit per opcode, a total of 256 bits). This works in tandem with the "opcode_mode" value. When the value of "opcode_mode" is False, this bitmap is ignored. When the value is True, the bitmap lists all opcodes to be considered for fault injection. By default, the bitmap is empty. When the user wants to filter by opcode, the user sets the corresponding bit in the bitmap by echo'ing the bit position into the 'opcodes' file. This gets around the issue that the set of opcodes does not lend itself to effective masks and allow for extremely fine-grained filtering by opcode. 4. fault_packet and fault_opcode methods have been combined. Hence, there is only one debugfs directory controlling the entire operation of the fault injection machinery. This reduces the number of debugfs entries and provides a more unified user experience. 5. A new control files - "direction" - is provided to allow the user to control the direction of packets, which are subject to fault injection. 6. A new control file - "skip_usec" - is added that would allow the user to specify a "timeout" during which no fault injection will occur. In addition, the following bug fixes have been applied: 1. The fault injection code has been split into its own header and source files. This was done to better organize the code and support conditional compilation without littering the code with #ifdef's. 2. The method by which the TX PIO packets were being marked for drop conflicted with the way send contexts were being setup. As a result, the send context was repeatedly being reset. 3. The fault injection only makes sense when the user can control it through the debugfs entries. However, a kernel configuration can enable fault injection but keep fault injection debugfs entries disabled. Therefore, it makes sense that the HFI fault injection code depends on both. 4. Error suppression did not take into account the method by which PIO packets were being dropped. Therefore, even with error suppression turned on, errors would still be displayed to the screen. A larger enough packet drop percentage would case the kernel to crash because the driver would be stuck printing errors.
