If it helps, I've added a dump_page() in case we hit a tail page there and got:

[  980.172299] page:ffffea003e5e8040 count:0 mapcount:1 mapping:          (null) index:0
x0
[  980.173412] page flags: 0x2fffff80008000(tail)

I can also add anything else in there to get other debug output if you think of something else useful.


Thanks,
Sasha
