Does this break slub's __cmpxchg_double_slab trick? I thought it
required page->freelist and page->counters to be doubleword-aligned.
It's not like we really require this optimization when we're debugging,
but trying to use it will unnecessarily slow things down.
FWIW, if you're looking to trim down the number of lines of code, you
could certainly play some macro tricks and #ifdef tricks.
struct vm_poison {
#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_POISON
u32 val;
#endif
};
Then, instead of #ifdefs in each structure, you do:
struct page {
struct vm_poison poison_start;
... other gunk
struct vm_poison poison_end;
};
