+ bool "Verbose refcount checks"
+ help
+ Say Y here if you want reference counters (refcount_t and kref) to
+ generate WARNs on dubious usage. Without this refcount_t will still
+ be a saturating counter and avoid Use-After-Free by turning it into
+ a resource leak Denial-Of-Service.
+
+ Use of this option will increase kernel text size but will alert the
+ admin of potential abuse.
+
+ If in doubt, say "N".
