[Tarantool-patches] [PATCH 1/2] errinj: introduce delayed injection

[Konstantin Osipov]

* Nikita Pettik <korablev at tarantool.org> [20/04/30 22:51]:

This is not exactly a time delay, this is a skip-first-n kind of
postponed enable?

Having a time delay is not such a bad idea (as well as a
probabilistic failure).

> With new macro ERROR_INJECT_DELAYED it is possible to delay error
> injection by DELAY parameter: injection will be set only after DELAY
> times the path is executed. For instance:
> 
> void
> foo(int i)
> {
> 	/* 2 is delay counter. */
> 	ERROR_INJECT_DELAYED(ERRINJ_FOO, 2, {
> 		 printf("Error injection on %d cycle!\n", i);
> 		});
> }
> 
> void
> boo(void)
> {
> 	for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
> 		foo(i);
> }
> 
> The result is "Error injection on 2 cycle!". This type of error
> injection can turn out to be useful to set injection in the middle of
> query processing. Imagine following scenario:
> 
> void
> foo(void)
> {
> 	int *fds[10];
> 	for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
> 		fds[i] = malloc(sizeof(int));
> 		if (fds[i] == NULL)
> 			goto cleanup;
> 	}
> cleanup:
> 	free(fds[0]);
> }
> 
> "cleanup" section obviously contains error and leads to memory leak.
> But using means of casual error injection without delay such situation
> can't be detected: OOM can be set only for first cycle iteration and in
> this particular case no leaks take place.
