    mm: page_poison: print page info when corruption is caught · f58bd538
    Sergei Trofimovich authored
    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

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