Re: [PATCH, V2] i386: instead of poisoning .init zone, change protection bits to force a fault

Andrew Morton a écrit :

But I'm inclined to drop the whole patch - I don't see how it can detect
any bugs which CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC won't find.

If CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is selected, does a page freed by free_page(addr); guaranted not being reused later ?

Anyway, the CONFIG_DEBUG_INITDATA was a temporary patch in order to track the accesses to non possible cpus percpu data. So if you feel all such accesses were cleaned, we can drop the patch...
