From: Tianchen Ding <dtcccc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: kfence: allow re-enabling KFENCE after system startup Patch series "provide the flexibility to enable KFENCE", v3. If CONFIG_CONTIG_ALLOC is not supported, we fallback to try alloc_pages_exact(). Allocating pages in this way has limits about MAX_ORDER (default 11). So we will not support allocating kfence pool after system startup with a large KFENCE_NUM_OBJECTS. When handling failures in kfence_init_pool_late(), we pair free_pages_exact() to alloc_pages_exact() for compatibility consideration, though it actually does the same as free_contig_range(). This patch (of 2): If once KFENCE is disabled by: echo 0 > /sys/module/kfence/parameters/sample_interval KFENCE could never be re-enabled until next rebooting. Allow re-enabling it by writing a positive num to sample_interval.
