From bfc740938d151001cb1158580796f8f3be3bf0c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Akinobu Mita Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:49:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fault-inject: make fail-nth read/write interface symmetric The read interface for fail-nth looks a bit odd. Read from this file returns "NYYYY..." or "YYYYY..." (this makes me surprise when cat this file). Because there is no EOF condition. The first character indicates current->fail_nth is zero or not, and then current->fail_nth is reset to zero. Just returning task->fail_nth value is more natural to understand.
