Print the offset of the fault addresses to make it easier to match the incorrect poison or padding values in the dump. Before: We have to search the "63" in the dump. If we want to get the offset of 63, we have to count it from the start of Object dump. ============================================================= BUG kmalloc-128 (Not tainted): Poison overwritten ------------------------------------------------------------- Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint INFO: 0x00000000570da294-0x00000000570da294.
