From ab1f306fa92f4d875c8f0b9e9f90e27ca8e7b37b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yu Zhao Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2014 15:43:17 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: verify compound order when freeing a page This allows us to catch the bug fixed in the previous patch (mm: free compound page with correct order). Here we also verify whether a page is tail page or not -- tail pages are supposed to be freed along with their head, not by themselves. Signed-off-by: Yu Zhao Reviewed-by: "Kirill A.
