mm: page_poison: print page info when corruption is caught
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When page_poison detects page corruption it's useful to see who freed a
page recently to have a guess where write-after-free corruption happens.

After this change corruption report has extra page data.
Example report from real corruption (includes only page_pwner part):

    pagealloc: memory corruption
    e00000014cd61d10: 11 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 30 1d d2 ff ff 0f 00 60  ........0......`

Here we can see that page was freed by page migration but something
managed to write to it afterwards.
