Poisoning freed pages protects against kernel use-after-free. The likelihood of such a bug involving kernel pages is significantly higher than that for user pages. At the same time, poisoning freed pages can impose a significant performance cost, which cannot always be justified for user pages given the lower probability of finding a bug. Therefore, disable freed user page poisoning when using HW tags. We identify "user" pages via the flag set GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE, which indicates a strong likelihood of not being directly accessible to the kernel.
