| 4 | Extend memmap on extra space for more information on page. This |
| 5 | could be used for debugging features that need to insert extra |
| 6 | field for every page. This extension enables us to save memory |
| 7 | by not allocating this extra memory according to boottime |
| 8 | configuration. |

Akinobu Mita | 7bc32f6 | 2011-03-22 16:32:46 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 22 | For architectures which don't enable ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, |

| 24 | the patterns before alloc_pages(). Additionally, |
| 25 | this option cannot be enabled in combination with hibernation as |
