The existing fault injection capability of UBI is too simple.
It uses hard-coded fault probability values and lacks other
configurable options. As a result, these interfaces are difficult
to use when digging defects in the abnormal path of code and
reproducing some problems.

The kernel provides a powerful fault injection framework, which
provides rich configurable fault injection attributes during runtime.
So it can be used to improve the fault injection capability of the 
UBI driver.

This series of patches refactors the existing fault injection interface
and add some fault injection types to help testers and developers
find potential problems in the code.

This series of patches enhance the existing fault injection interface
and retain the old debugfs interface, and add some fault injection types
to help testers and developers look for potential problems in the code.

v2:
 - Retain the old fault injection interface.

v3:
 1. Corrects the initialization of the error mask, which should start at 1.
 2. Change the read format of the mask value to readable hexadecimal.
 3. The interface definition style is consistent when when adding the new interface.
 4. Redundant macros are removed.
 5. Correct the fault injection hook position error: ubi_io_read_data -> ubi_io_write_data.
 6. UBI_IO_BITFLIPS is returned in ubi_io_read() in advance to prevent the 
    return value from being overwritten.
 7. In the last commit, an example of the use of fail_function is given.

v4:
 - Delete redundant space characters.
 
v5:
 - Delete the redundant semicolon of the first patch.
 
v6:
 - Check the patch completely and fix English syntax errors.

ZhaoLong Wang (5):
  ubi: Use the fault injection framework to enhance the fault injection
    capability
  ubi: Split io_failures into write_failure and erase_failure
  ubi: Add six fault injection type for testing
  ubi: Reserve sufficient buffer length for the input mask
  mtd: Add several functions to the fail_function list
