| 21 | Fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify |
| 22 | the patterns before alloc_pages(). This results in a large slowdown, |

| 25 | This option cannot enalbe with hibernation. Otherwise, it will get |
| 26 | wrong messages for memory corruption because the free pages are not |
| 27 | saved to the suspend image. |
