The patch titled Subject: lib/list_debug.c: add object information in case of invalid object has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is lib-list_debugc-add-object-information-in-case-of-invalid-object.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/lib-list_debugc-add-object-information-in-case-of-invalid-object.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Maninder Singh <maninder1.s@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: lib/list_debug.c: add object information in case of invalid object Date: Mon, 30 Dec 2024 15:40:43 +0530 As of now during link list corruption it prints about cluprit address and its wrong value, but sometime it is not enough to catch the actual issue point. If it prints allocation and free path of that corrupted node, it will be a lot easier to find and fix the issues.
