No, the previous memchr_inv() does the PAGE_POISON check, determine the start of the corrupted memory. !start means no corruption.

	start = memchr_inv(mem, PAGE_POISON, bytes);
	if (!start)
		return;

+	if (!__ratelimit(&ratelimit))
+		return;

	for (end = mem + bytes - 1; end > start; end--) {
		if (*end != PAGE_POISON)
			break;
	}
