I still disagree with duplicating most of page_owner functionality for
the sake of using a single stack handle for both alloc and free (while
page_owner + debug_pagealloc with patches in mmotm uses two handles). It
reduces the amount of potentially important debugging information, and I
really doubt the u32-per-page savings are significant, given the rest of
KASAN overhead.

That's not a discussion, but a single comment from Dmitry, which btw
contains "provide alloc *and* free stacks for it" ("it" refers to page,
emphasis mine). It would be nice if he or other KASAN guys could clarify.
