Subject: When Are Free Pages Zeroed?
Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2011 01:43:54 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4EBB80BA.2090700@netscape.net> (raw)
I'm looking into the Linux memory management subsystem and need to know
when freed pages are zeroed. Specifically, are they zeroed just before
they are reallocated, immediately after they are freed, or sometime
in-between? Also, what files/functions would I need to modify to change
this behavior?
Thanks for any help and kindest regards,
--Patrick
