+dm-flakey
+=========
+
+This target is the same as the linear target except that it exhibits
+unreliable behaviour periodically.  It's been found useful in simulating
+failing devices for testing purposes.
+
+Starting from the time the table is loaded, the device is available for
+<up interval> seconds, then exhibits unreliable behaviour for <down
+interval> seconds, and then this cycle repeats.
+
+Also, consider using this in combination with the dm-delay target too,
+which can delay reads and writes and/or send them to different
+underlying devices.
+
+Table parameters
+----------------
+
+::
+
+  <dev path> <offset> <up interval> <down interval> \
+    [<num_features> [<feature arguments>]]
+
+Mandatory parameters:
+
+    <dev path>:
+        Full pathname to the underlying block-device, or a
+        "major:minor" device-number.
+    <offset>:
+        Starting sector within the device.
+    <up interval>:
+        Number of seconds device is available.
+    <down interval>:
+        Number of seconds device returns errors.
+
+Optional feature parameters:
+
+  If no feature parameters are present, during the periods of
+  unreliability, all I/O returns errors.
+
+  drop_writes:
+	All write I/O is silently ignored.
+	Read I/O is handled correctly.
+
+  error_writes:
+	All write I/O is failed with an error signalled.
+	Read I/O is handled correctly.
+
+  corrupt_bio_byte <Nth_byte> <direction> <value> <flags>:
+	During <down interval>, replace <Nth_byte> of the data of
+	each matching bio with <value>.
+
+    <Nth_byte>:
+	The offset of the byte to replace.
+	Counting starts at 1, to replace the first byte.
+    <direction>:
+	Either 'r' to corrupt reads or 'w' to corrupt writes.
+	'w' is incompatible with drop_writes.
+    <value>:
+	The value (from 0-255) to write.
+    <flags>:
+	Perform the replacement only if bio->bi_opf has all the
+	selected flags set.
+
+Examples:
+
+Replaces the 32nd byte of READ bios with the value 1::
+
+  corrupt_bio_byte 32 r 1 0
+
+Replaces the 224th byte of REQ_META (=32) bios with the value 0::
+
+  corrupt_bio_byte 224 w 0 32
