[PATCH v3 0/5] cleanup page poisoning
From: Vlastimil Babka
Date: Fri Nov 13 2020 - 05:40:57 EST
Changes since v2 [2]
- rebase to next-20201113
- apply review feedback from David
- acks from David and Rafael (thanks!)
The first version was called "optimize handling of memory debugging parameters"
[1], changes are:
- apply review feedback
- drop former Patch 3
- add new patches 3-5, change name and cover letter of series
I have identified a number of issues and opportunities for cleanup with
CONFIG_PAGE_POISON and friends:
- interaction with init_on_alloc and init_on_free parameters depends on
the order of parameters (Patch 1)
- the boot time enabling uses static key, but inefficienty (Patch 2)
- sanity checking is incompatible with hibernation (Patch 3)
- CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY can be removed now that we have init_on_free
(Patch 4)
- CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO can be most likely removed now that we have
init_on_free (Patch 5)

Vlastimil Babka (5):
mm, page_alloc: do not rely on the order of page_poison and
init_on_alloc/free parameters
mm, page_poison: use static key more efficiently
kernel/power: allow hibernation with page_poison sanity checking
mm, page_poison: remove CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY
mm, page_poison: remove CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO
