Excuse me for a long delay. I've tried to give a detailed answer here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/1/21/362
Do you mean by «the re-implemented wheel» seq_print_stack_trace()? If so
then it was thought to show an owner of each allocated buffer. I used a
similar way as in page_owner: saving stack_trace for each allocation. Do
you think we can use tracepoints instead?
