[patch v2 4/4] mm, mempool: poison elements backed by page allocator

From: David Rientjes
Date: Tue Mar 24 2015 - 19:10:11 EST


Elements backed by the slab allocator are poisoned when added to a
mempool's reserved pool.

It is also possible to poison elements backed by the page allocator
because the mempool layer knows the allocation order.

This patch extends mempool element poisoning to include memory backed by
the page allocator.

This is only effective for configs with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB or
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON.
