If it is a real issue to install the debugging kernel with the required
kernel parameter then I a config option for the default on makes sense
to me.

Yes - the debug kernels use the same default kernel parameters as 
non-debug kernels and it is expected that all debug features are enabled 
by default.

Here I'm sending the patch using the fault-injection framework and the new 
option CONFIG_FAIL_KVMALLOC_FALLBACK_PROBABILITY.

Mikulas



From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka at redhat.com>
Subject: [PATCH v4] fault-injection: introduce kvmalloc fallback options

This patch introduces a fault-injection option "kvmalloc_fallback".
This
option makes kvmalloc randomly fall back to vmalloc.

Unfortunatelly, some kernel code has bugs - it uses kvmalloc and then
uses DMA-API on the returned memory or frees it with kfree. Such bugs were
found in the virtio-net driver, dm-integrity or RHEL7 powerpc-specific
code. This options helps to test for these bugs.

The patch introduces a config option FAIL_KVMALLOC_FALLBACK_PROBABILITY.
It can be enabled in distribution debug kernels, so that kvmalloc abuse
can be tested by the users. The default can be overriden with
"kvmalloc_fallback" parameter or in
/sys/kernel/debug/kvmalloc_fallback/.
