8 Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages().
9 This results in a large slowdown, but helps to find certain types

Akinobu Mita7bc32f62011-03-22 16:32:46 -070012 For architectures which don't enable ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC,
13 fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify
14 the patterns before alloc_pages(). Additionally,
15 this option cannot be enabled in combination with hibernation as
16 that would result in incorrect warnings of memory corruption after
17 a resume because free pages are not saved to the suspend image.
