| 9 | Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages(). |
| 10 | This results in a large slowdown, but helps to find certain types |
| 11 | of memory corruption. |

| 13 | For architectures which don't enable ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, |
| 14 | fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify |
| 15 | the patterns before alloc_pages(). Additionally, |
| 16 | this option cannot be enabled in combination with hibernation as |
| 17 | that would result in incorrect warnings of memory corruption after |
| 18 | a resume because free pages are not saved to the suspend image. |
