Provide a helper in stackdepot to print stack entries
based on stackdepot handle.

You should convert existing users together with the patch that introduces
the helper. I think print_stack() in mm/kasan/report.c, and
__dump_page_owner() could use this.


Okay. I have done this in v2 of the patch set. BTW I also see some users (one place in page owner, rest all in some gpu drivers) of stack_depot_fetch + stack_trace_snprintf. Could you please let me know if it would be okay to add a helper corresponding to stack_trace_snprintf as well.

It's missing a declaration in include/linux/stackdepot.h
Perhaps it could be all be a static inline there anyway.


Agree. I have added missing declaration now. I have not made it inline
though.

Thanks again for the review.
