Event validation + ODP linux-generic implementation supports additional fast path event + validity checks which are disabled by default to minimize overhead. These + checks can be enabled with --enable-event-validation [abort/warn] or + --enabled-debug=full configuration options. + + Event validation adds additional endmark data to ODP buffers and packets, + which is used to detect data writes outside allowed areas. Endmarks are + checked by the implementation each time application calls one the following + API functions: + - odp_buffer_free() / odp_buffer_free_multi() + - odp_buffer_is_valid() + - odp_event_free() / odp_event_free_multi() / odp_event_free_sp() + - odp_event_is_valid() + - odp_packet_free() / odp_packet_free_multi() / odp_packet_free_sp() + - odp_packet_is_valid() + - odp_queue_enq() / odp_queue_enq_multi() + + Event validation can function in two modes: abort (default) and warn. In + abort mode the application is terminated immediately if an event validity + check fails. In warn mode only an error log message is printed. + +7.
