      mm/debug-pagealloc: prepare boottime configurable on/off · e30825f1
      Joonsoo Kim 提交于
      Until now, debug-pagealloc needs extra flags in struct page, so we need to
      recompile whole source code when we decide to use it.  This is really
      painful, because it takes some time to recompile and sometimes rebuild is
      not possible due to third party module depending on struct page.  So, we
      can't use this good feature in many cases.
      
      Now, we have the page extension feature that allows us to insert extra
      flags to outside of struct page.  This gets rid of third party module
      issue mentioned above.  And, this allows us to determine if we need extra
      memory for this page extension in boottime.  With these property, we can
      avoid using debug-pagealloc in boottime with low computational overhead in
      the kernel built with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.  This will help our
      development process greatly.
      
      This patch is the preparation step to achive above goal.  debug-pagealloc
      originally uses extra field of struct page, but, after this patch, it will
      use field of struct page_ext.  Because memory for page_ext is allocated
      later than initialization of page allocator in CONFIG_SPARSEMEM, we should
      disable debug-pagealloc feature temporarily until initialization of
      page_ext.  This patch implements this.
