[PATCH] mm: teach dump_page() to correctly output poisoned struct pages

From: Pavel Tatashin
Date: Mon Jul 02 2018 - 11:28:11 EST


If struct page is poisoned, and uninitialized access is detected via
PF_POISONED_CHECK(page) dump_page() is called to output the page. But,
the dump_page() itself accesses struct page to determine how to print
it, and therefore gets into a recursive loop.

For example:
dump_page()
__dump_page()
PageSlab(page)
PF_POISONED_CHECK(page)
VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS(PagePoisoned(page), page)
dump_page() recursion loop.

Fixes: f165b378bbdf ("mm: uninitialized struct page poisoning sanity checking")
