mm/slub: clarify verification reporting
Patch series "Actually fix freelist pointer vs redzoning", v4.
This fixes redzoning vs the freelist pointer (both for middle-position
and very small caches). Both are "theoretical" fixes, in that I see no
evidence of such small-sized caches actually be used in the kernel, but
that's no reason to let the bugs continue to exist, especially since
people doing local development keep tripping over it. :)
This patch (of 3):
Instead of repeating "Redzone" and "Poison", clarify which sides of
those zones got tripped. Additionally fix column alignment in the
trailer.
Before:
BUG test (Tainted: G B ): Redzone overwritten
...
Redzone (____ptrval____): bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb ........
Object (____ptrval____): f6 f4 a5 40 1d e8 ...@..
Redzone (____ptrval____): 1a aa ..
Padding (____ptrval____): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........
After:
BUG test (Tainted: G B ): Right Redzone overwritten
...
Redzone (____ptrval____): bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb ........
Object (____ptrval____): f6 f4 a5 40 1d e8 ...@..
Redzone (____ptrval____): 1a aa ..
Padding (____ptrval____): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........
The earlier commits that slowly resulted in the "Before" reporting were:
d86bd1bece6f ("mm/slub: support left redzone")
ffc79d288000 ("slub: use print_hex_dump")
2492268472e7 ("SLUB: change error reporting format to follow lockdep loosely")
