This adds support to inject data errors after a completed host transfer.
The mmc core will return error even though the host transfer is successful.
This simple fault injection proved to be very useful to test the
non-blocking error handling in the mmc_blk_issue_rw_rq().
Random faults can also test how the host driver handles pre_req()
and post_req() in case of errors.
Looks good to me.
Thanks,

I think the fail_attr should be defined for each mmc_host like make_it_fail
in struct mmc_host and debugfs entries should also be created in a
subdirectory of mmc host debugfs.
I looked at blk-core.c and used the same code here. Current code
creates the entry under the debugfs root. This means one fail_attr for
all hosts.
I agree, it's more clean to move the fail_attr to the
host-debugfs-entry which require the fail_attr to be stored same way
as make_it_fail.
And I know that init_fault_attr_dentries() can only create a
subdirectory in debugfs root directory. ?But I have a patch which
support for creating it in arbitrary directory. ?Could you take a look
at this? (Note that this patch is based on mmotm and not yet tested)
Thanks, I will check it out.
