With this option you will be able to detect common bugs in device
drivers like double-freeing of DMA mappings or freeing mappings that
were never allocated.
- This option causes a performance degredation. Use only if you want
- to debug device drivers. If unsure, say N.
+
+ This also attempts to catch cases where a page owned by DMA is
+ accessed by the cpu in a way that could cause data corruption. For
+ example, this enables cow_user_page() to check that the source page is
+ not undergoing DMA.
