+NVMe Fault Injection
+====================
+Linux's fault injection framework provides a systematic way to support
+error injection via debugfs in the /sys/kernel/debug directory. When
+enabled, the default NVME_SC_INVALID_OPCODE with no retry will be
+injected into the nvme_end_request. Users can change the default status
+code and no retry flag via the debugfs. The list of Generic Command
+Status can be found in include/linux/nvme.h
+
+Following examples show how to inject an error into the nvme.
+
+First, enable CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_DEBUG_FS kernel config,
+recompile the kernel. After booting up the kernel, do the
+following.
+
+Example 1: Inject default status code with no retry
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+::
+
+  mount /dev/nvme0n1 /mnt
+  echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/nvme0n1/fault_inject/times
+  echo 100 > /sys/kernel/debug/nvme0n1/fault_inject/probability
+  cp a.file /mnt
+
+Expected Result::
+
+  cp: cannot stat ‘/mnt/a.file’: Input/output error
+
+Message from dmesg::
+
+  FAULT_INJECTION: forcing a failure.
