If we can't call page_mapping() to get the page mapping, handle the

Hi Matthew,

I see why you did this, as otherwise the new printing won't work.

It's tricky to step lightly through the debris of corrupted page
pointer here, but how about this updated comment, to replace the one-liner
above:

		/*

		 * safe subset of the steps that page_mapping() does. Caution:

		 * and potentially other situations. (See the page_mapping()
		 * implementation for what's missing here.)

-		mapping = page->mapping;
+		unsigned long tmp = (unsigned long)page->mapping;
+
+		if (tmp & PAGE_MAPPING_ANON)
+			mapping = NULL;
+		else
+			mapping = (void *)(tmp & ~PAGE_MAPPING_FLAGS);
  		head = page;
  		compound = false;
  	} else {
