+ Write to this file of integer N makes N-th call in the current task fail
+ (N is 0-based). Read from this file returns a single char 'Y' or 'N'
+ that says if the fault setup with a previous write to this file was
+ injected or not, and disables the fault if it wasn't yet injected.
+ Note that this file enables all types of faults (slab, futex, etc).
+ This setting takes precedence over all other generic debugfs settings
+ like probability, interval, times, etc. But per-capability settings
+ (e.g. fail_futex/ignore-private) take precedence over it.
+
+ This feature is intended for systematic testing of faults in a single

+Systematic faults using fail-nth
+---------------------------------
+
+The following code systematically faults 0-th, 1-st, 2-nd and so on
+capabilities in the socketpair() system call.

+#include <sys/stat.h>
+#include <sys/socket.h>

+#include <fcntl.h>
+#include <unistd.h>

+{
+ int i, err, res, fail_nth, fds[2];
+ char buf[128];

+ system("echo N > /sys/kernel/debug/failslab/ignore-gfp-wait");
+ sprintf(buf, "/proc/self/task/%ld/fail-nth", syscall(SYS_gettid));
+ fail_nth = open(buf, O_RDWR);
+ for (i = 0;; i++) {
+ sprintf(buf, "%d", i);
+ write(fail_nth, buf, strlen(buf));

+ err = errno;
