A definite improvement, but I think we could do better. For example,
you've changed PageCompound to PageTail here, whereas we really do want
to dump some more information for PageHead pages than the plain vanilla
order-0 page has. Another thing is that page_mapping() calls compound_head(),
so if the page is corrupted, we're going to get a funky pointer dereference.
I spent a bit of time on this reimplementation ... what do you think?
- Print the mapping pointer using %p insted of %px. The actual value of
the pointer can be read out of the raw page dump and using %p gives a
chance to correlate it to earlier printk of the mapping pointer.
- Add the order of the page for compound pages
- Dump the raw head page as well as the raw page being dumped
