Thanks for the reply. I agree not all caller of print_section() is the
same case. Converting all of them is not a good idea.
For mm/slub.c, let me explain with the following example.
The offset is useful for use-after-free debugging. I often trace the
"free track" and find the data structure used and compare the data
structure with the offset of the incorrect poison value and see if the
incorrect poison value matches some member of that data structure.
Assume we have a data structure "something" and it has a member called
"m", offset = 780.
struct something *p; // sizeof(struct something) is 1024
p = kmalloc(sizeof(struct something), GFP_KERNEL);
kfree(p);
(p->m) = 'c'; // assume p->member is at offset=780
When we see the log: (using DUMP_PREFIX_ADDRESS)
We have to "count" the offset.
