Jens Axboe 93b570464c null_blk: add option for managing IO timeouts
Use the fault injection framework to provide a way for null_blk
to configure timeouts. This only works for queue_mode 1 and 2,
since the bio mode doesn't have code for tracking timeouts.

Let's say you want to have a 10% chance of timing out every
100,000 requests, and for 5 total timeouts, you could do:

modprobe null_blk timeout="100000,10,0,5"

This is useful for adding blktests to test that IO timeouts
are handled appropriately.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
