------------------------------------------------------ From: Sergei Trofimovich slyfox@gentoo.org 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.
