This patch provides fault-injection capability for kmalloc.
Boot option:
failslab=<probability>,<interval>,<times>,<space>
<probability>
specifies how often it should fail in percent.
<interval>
specifies the interval of failures.
<times>
specifies how many times failures may happen at most.
<space>
specifies the size of free space where memory can be allocated
safely in bytes.
Example:
failslab=100,10,-1,0
slab allocation (kmalloc, kmem_cache_alloc,..) fails once per 10 times.
