Model call chain after should_failslab(). Likewise, we can now use a kprobe to override the return value of should_fail_alloc_page() and inject allocation failures into alloc_page*(). This will allow injecting allocation failures using the BCC tools even without building kernel with CONFIG_FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC and booting it with a fail_page_alloc= parameter, which incurs some overhead even when failures are not being injected. On the other hand, this patch adds an unconditional call to should_fail_alloc_page() from page allocation hotpath. That overhead should be rather negligible with CONFIG_FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC=n when there's no kprobe attached, though.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
