28.Dt DM_TARGET_FLAKEY 4
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm dm_target_flakey
32.Nd Device-mapper flakey target
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34To compile this driver into the kernel,
35place the following lines in your
36kernel configuration file:
37.Bd -ragged -offset indent
38.Cd "device dm"
39.Cd "device dm_target_flakey"
40.Ed
41.Pp
42Alternatively, to load the driver as a
43module at boot time, place the following line in
44.Xr loader.conf 5 :
45.Bd -literal -offset indent
46dm_target_flakey_load="YES"
47.Ed
48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49The
50.Nm
51target for
52.Xr dm 4
53provides periodic unreliable I/O behavior to simulate failing devices for testing purposes.
54.Dq Nm dmsetup Cm create
55takes the following list of parameters for the
56.Nm
57table.
58.Bd -ragged -offset indent
59.Cd "<device_path> <offset> <up_interval> <down_interval> [<num_feature_parameters> [<feature_parameters>]]"
60.Ed
61.Pp
62The first four parameters are mandatory.
63.Nm
64is similar to
65.Xr dm_target_linear 4
66except that
67.Nm
68has parameters for periodic unreliable I/O behavior.
69.Pp
70<device_path> is a path to the underlying device.
71<offset> is the starting sector within the device.
72<up_interval> is the number of seconds device is available.
73<down_interval> is the number of seconds device returns errors.
74The device has periodic unreliable I/O behavior for <down_interval>
75seconds every other <up_interval> seconds starting from the time
76the table is loaded by
77.Xr dmsetup 8 .
78.Pp
79Optional <feature_parameters> are as follows.
80<num_feature_parameters> takes the number of parameters for <feature_parameters>.
81In other words <num_feature_parameters> is the number of parameters after this.
82If <feature_parameters> are not specified, all I/Os return error during <down_interval>.
83.Pp
84.Dq Nm drop_writes
85feature takes no additional parameters.
86All write I/Os are silently ignored.
87.Bd -ragged -offset indent
88.Cd "[drop_writes]"
89.Ed
90.Pp
91.Dq Nm corrupt_bio_byte
92feature takes four additional mandatory parameters.
93It replaces <Nth_byte> of the
94.Dq Nm struct Cm buf
95data
96whose direction is <direction> with <value> during <down_interval>.
97.Bd -ragged -offset indent
98.Cd "[corrupt_bio_byte <Nth_byte> <direction> <value> <flags>]"
99.Ed
100.Pp
101<Nth_byte> is the offset of the
102.Dq Nm struct Cm buf
103data to replace. Counting starts at 1 to replace the first byte of the data.
104<direction> is either 'r' for reads or 'w' for writes. Using 'w' is imcompatible with
105.Dq Nm drop_writes
106feature.
107<value> is the value to replace which must be between 0 and 255.
108<flags> makes
109.Nm
110perform the replacement only if
111.Dq Nm b_flags
112field of
113.Dq Nm struct Cm buf
114has all the specified flags set.
