Agree, it will be easier to trigger random injection in specific area, and also
I agreed with Ted, some of the time we prefer to do injection in specified field
of meta, it looks developer needs to do more work for that.

Of course I remember him. :)

I guess btrfs/f2fs should has improved their stability/robustness a lot due to
Jungyeon and Wen Xu's gret fuzz bug report.

Actually, f2fs only support realtime fault injection framework, which allows us
to inject memory exhausting, IO error, lack of free blocks, shutdown... error
during fsstress test.

I do think f2fs needs that kind of tool later.
