From bd33ef3681359343863f2290aded182b0441edee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vinayak Menon Date: Wed, 3 May 2017 14:54:42 -0700 Subject: mm: enable page poisoning early at boot On SPARSEMEM systems page poisoning is enabled after buddy is up, because of the dependency on page extension init. This causes the pages released by free_all_bootmem not to be poisoned. This either delays or misses the identification of some issues because the pages have to undergo another cycle of alloc-free-alloc for any corruption to be detected. Enable page poisoning early by getting rid of the PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_POISON flag. Since all the free pages will now be poisoned, the flag need not be verified before checking the poison during an alloc.
