'static' and 'static noinline' function attributes make no guarantees that gcc/clang won't optimize them. The compiler may decide to inline 'static' function and in such case ALLOW_ERROR_INJECT becomes meaningless. The compiler could have inlined __add_to_page_cache_locked() in one callsite and didn't inline in another. In such case injecting errors into it would cause unpredictable behavior. It's worse with 'static noinline' which won't be inlined, but it still can be optimized. Like the compiler may decide to remove one argument or constant propagate the value depending on the callsite. To avoid such issues make sure that these functions are global noinline.

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.
