Subject: mm: page_alloc: ignore init_on_free=1 for debug_pagealloc=1
On !ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC (like ia64) debug_pagealloc=1 implies
page_poison=on:
if (page_poisoning_enabled() ||
(!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC) &&
debug_pagealloc_enabled()))
static_branch_enable(&_page_poisoning_enabled);
page_poison=on needs to override init_on_free=1.
Before the change it did not work as expected for the following case:
- have PAGE_POISONING=y
- have page_poison unset
- have !ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC arch (like ia64)
- have init_on_free=1
- have debug_pagealloc=1
That way we get both keys enabled:
- static_branch_enable(&init_on_free);
- static_branch_enable(&_page_poisoning_enabled);
which leads to poisoned pages returned for __GFP_ZERO pages.
After the change we execute only:
- static_branch_enable(&_page_poisoning_enabled);
and ignore init_on_free=1.
