Refactor the XFS error injection helpers to use the new errortag
interface to configure error injection.  If that isn't present, fall
back either to the xfs_io/ioctl based injection or the older sysfs
knobs.  Refactor existing testcases to use the new helpers.

This looks good to me overall, but I still perfer let other people
who're more familar with XFS errortag and error injection to review too.
While I do have some questions/comments :)

While The function name and comment both indicate it needs a mounted
XFS, it seems weird that the first argument is expected to be a block
device. And do we need to check if the given device is really mounted?

As this check goes prior to the _require_error_injection check, so I
assume this new errortag framework doesn't depend on a debug built XFS,
can I?

_require_xfs_io_error_injection already made sure we can do error
jection, it looks like a bug somewhere to me if we can't inject error
here, either wanted to inject error without checking the support status
first or an implementation bug in the error injection framework in
xfstests. So "_fail" might be the right choice.

Same here.

The xfs per-mount sysfs knobs distinguish between mounts via the
block device name.

It does depend on debug mode so it probably makes sense to push this
after the _require_error_injection check. That way the DEBUG=0 message
has precedent over a message regarding lack of support for a particular
knob.

Outside of Eryu's further comments, the rest looks good to me. This
reminds me that I still need to post the latest log tail overwrite test
that depends on this, now that the kernel bits have been reviewed...

What if we rename the helper and change its documentation as such?

# Find the errortag injection knob in sysfs for a given xfs mount's
# block device.
_find_xfs_mountdev_errortag_knob()
{
	...
}

It depends on the sysfs knobs, and the sysfs knobs in turn depend on
XFS_DEBUG=y.

Hm?  This is what _require_xfs_io_error_injection does:

First we compute the path to the knob if it exists
(_find_xfs_mount_errortag_knob).

Then we check if that path is writable.  If it is, error injection is
enabled (which presumably means XFS_DEBUG=y) and we can continue.

If not, then we use _require_error_injection to bail out if XFS_DEBUG=n.

If we don't bail out, XFS_DEBUG=y and so we check if the xfs_io inject
help page knows about the error type, and bail out if it doesn't.


In the end it doesn't really matter if we look for XFS_DEBUG=y before or
after we look for the new sysfs knob.  I figured it was simple enough to
assume that if the knob is present and writable, then our preconditions
are satisfied and it's ok to proceed with the injection test.

That said, I also interpreted the "look for evidence of XFS_DEBUG=y" and
"see if xfs_io inject knows about the specific error tag" sequence as a
best effort work around for the fact that the ioctl-based injection
mechanism isn't directly discoverable at all, so instead we assume it's
safe to proceed if we can detect a debug kernel and xfs_io is new enough
to issue the request.

Ah, right. I misinterpreted that the lack of the knob would fall through
to the subsequent checks, so there's no difference with respect to the
resulting message if DEBUG=0. It still looks cleaner to me to check
debug mode first, fwiw, but not a big deal either way.
