It's not at all "needed for bpf".
There are mis-uses of error injection that have nothing to do with error injection in linux-next, and some people have argued that said mis-uses are a valid.
They aren't. They need fixing. Thankfully they haven't made it upstream, and I most definitely do not want random users mis-using "error injection" to inject random bpf code for non-error cases.
