Subject: [PATCH 2/4] kmemcheck: add __GFP_NOTRACK_FALSE_POSITIVE flag
Date: Sat, 16 May 2009 11:51:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1242467480-14378-2-git-send-email-vegard.nossum@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1242467480-14378-1-git-send-email-vegard.nossum@gmail.com>
In contrast to __GFP_NOTRACK, this flag indicates that the allocation
should not be tracked _because_ it would produce a false positive.
Their values are identical, but need not be so in the future (for
example, we could now enable/disable false positives with a config
option).
