From: Zhen Lei <thunder.leizhen@xxxxxxxxxx> v6 --> v7: To avoid snowballing, resend the two RCU-related patches that we've discussed OK. The remaining three patches themselves do not need to be gone into RCU tree, I'll send them separately for discussion. v5 --> v6: 1. Use print_hex_dump() to dump the memory of slab object. 2. Add a new dump prefix DUMP_PREFIX_ADDRESS_LOW16 3. Minimize the output width of the offset v4 --> v5: 1. Add Reviewed-by Acked-by for patch 1/3 2. Add patch 3/3: mm: Dump the memory of slab object in kmem_dump_obj() v3 --> v4: 1. Remove kmem_valid_obj() and convert kmem_dump_obj() to work the same way as vmalloc_dump_obj(). 2. In kernel/rcu/rcu.h -#include <linux/mm.h> +#include <linux/slab.h> v2 --> v3: 1. I made statistics about the source of 'rhp'. kmem_valid_obj() accounts for more than 97.5%, and vmalloc accounts for less than 1%. So change call mem_dump_obj() to call kmem_dump_obj() can meet debugging requirements and avoid the potential deadlock risk of vmalloc_dump_obj(). - mem_dump_obj(rhp); + if (kmem_valid_obj(rhp)) + kmem_dump_obj(rhp); The discussion about vmap_area_lock deadlock in v2: https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/11/11/493 2. Provide static inline empty functions for kmem_valid_obj() and kmem_dump_obj() when CONFIG_PRINTK=n. v1 --> v2: 1. Remove condition "(unsigned long)rhp->func & 0x3", it have problems on x86. 2. Paul E. McKenney helped me update the commit message, thanks.
