+ Work around a kernel memory leak present in a few Linux kernels.
+ The only affected mainline kernels are 3.17 to 3.17.2, but this
+ switch will also be required should a distribution backport commit
+ 908790fa3b779d37365e6b28e3aa0f6e833020c3 or commit
+ 95ad5c291313b66a98a44dc92b57e0b37c1dd589 but not the fix in commit
+ 51486b900ee92856b977eacfc5bfbe6565028070 from the linux-stable repo
+ (git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git) or
+ the corresponding changes on other branches. This is impossible to
+ detect automatically. Without this switch, the openafs module will
+ build and work even with affected kernels. But it will leak kernel
+ memory, leading to performance degradation and eventually system
+ failure due to memory exhaustion.

OpenAFS now uses keyrings to manage PAGs by default on Linux, which
does not require hooking into the system call table. On older
