From: Georgi Djakov <quic_c_gdjako@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/slub: add taint after the errors are printed When running the kernel with panic_on_taint, the usual slub debug error messages are not being printed when object corruption happens. That's because we panic in add_taint(), which is called before printing the additional information. This is a bit unfortunate as the error messages are actually very useful, especially before a panic. Let's fix this by moving add_taint() after the errors are printed on the console.
