I wonder if we can combine these two patches in some more useful way?

I also think we probably want a sanity check that 'head' and 'page'
are within a sane range of each other (ie head < page and head +
MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES > page) to protect against a struct page that contains
complete garbage.


OK, here's a go at combining those. I like the observation, implicit in your
diffs, that PageTail rather than PageCompound is the key differentiator in
deciding what to print. How's this look:

Here's sample output for a normal page, a tail page, and a tail page with a bad
(non-zero) refcount:
