Howard McLauchlan 4f6923fbb3 mm: make should_failslab always available for fault injection
should_failslab() is a convenient function to hook into for directed
error injection into kmalloc().  However, it is only available if a
config flag is set.

The following BCC script, for example, fails kmalloc() calls after a
btrfs umount:

    from bcc import BPF

    prog = r"""
    BPF_HASH(flag);

    #include <linux/mm.h>

    int kprobe__btrfs_close_devices(void *ctx) {
            u64 key = 1;
            flag.update(&key, &key);
            return 0;
    }

    int kprobe__should_failslab(struct pt_regs *ctx) {
            u64 key = 1;
            u64 *res;
            res = flag.lookup(&key);
            if (res != 0) {
                bpf_override_return(ctx, -ENOMEM);
            }
            return 0;
    }
    """
    b = BPF(text=prog)

    while 1:
        b.kprobe_poll()

This patch refactors the should_failslab implementation so that the
function is always available for error injection, independent of flags.

This change would be similar in nature to commit f5490d3ec921 ("block:
Add should_fail_bio() for bpf error injection").

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
