[PATCH v36 4/5] mm/page_poison: expose page_poisoning_enabled to kernel modules

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

 



In some usages, e.g. virtio-balloon, a kernel module needs to know if
page poisoning is in use. This patch exposes the page_poisoning_enabled
function to kernel modules.
