The arguments of injectargs being valid ceph arguments, they are.
consumed when the ceph cli calls rados.conf_parse_argv(). It can be
worked around by obsuring them as in:
where '--osd_debug_drop_ping_probability 444' is a single argument that
does not match any known argument. The trick is that it will be
evaluated again once it reaches the OSD or the MON and translated into
the expected list of arguments. Although it is clear once explained, it
is obscure and leads to strange combinations such as:
this one is unfortunately much less documented and the user does not
usually know the exact semantic of --, let alone where it should be
placed.
The simpler solution is to split the argument list in two if
"injectargs" is found. The arguments that show after the "injectargs"
argument is removed from the list of arguments until parsing is
complete. It implements the more intuitive syntax:
ceph tell osd.0 injectargs --osd_debug_op_order
and the other forms are still valid for backward compatibility.
