I'd almost say DEBUG_PAGEALLOC; which could also disable lazy unmapping in order to catch use-after free better. Or just a different option entirely. DEBUG_VM has, so far, been kept to relatively cheap tests that are not much pain to turn on, and shouldn't result in much behavioural change of algorithms/data structures AFAIKS. Which can be a good thing. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
