[PATCH 2/2 -mmotm] debug-pagealloc: cannot depend on hibernation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The generic debug-pagealloc generates wrong messages for the page corruption
after hibernation. Because the free pages are not saved to the suspend image.

 	   Fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify
 	   the patterns before alloc_pages(). This results in a large slowdown,
