You are using fault injection, which, by it's very name, causes faults :)

Can you reproduce it without causing faults in the kernel? And if so,
can you create a patch to fix this?

thanks,

But those injected failures (that do not break the kernel, but just
emulate an error returned from a function that should be expected to
sometimes return an error) still should not lead to general protection
fault panics, shouldn't they?

It all depends on what exactly the fault is happening for. Some
allocations in the kernel just "will not fail ever" so when you add
fault injection testing, you are doing things that really can not ever
happen.

So the proof is first on the reporter, prove that this type of fault
_can_ actually happen, and then, make a fix to properly handle it.
Don't expect us to make a fix for something that can not actually occur,
as that would be pointless (hint, we have been down this path before, it
doesn't work...)

Just in case - are you aware of any specific examples where fault
injection injects failures that should never ever happen? All
automatic kernel testing would benefit by making it not do this then.

From what I see in the code, fault injection already takes care of
avoiding such problems:

Yes, many places, it's come up in the past, but I can't find the
specifics as some of us get 1000+ emails a day :)

Search the archives?

I agree, so take a look at the allocation paths and see the ones that
just can not fail and then do not cause a fault on them? As an example,
any "small" allocation that can be done in a way that can sleep (i.e.
GFP_KERNEL) will never fail, right? So don't add failures there.

Or any allocation at boot time, that's never going to fail as there's no
memory pressure yet. Look at the system and make smart faults, don't
just blindly go poking at things and expect it all to work.

good luck!
