Robin Murphy 311ade0eab mm/debug.c: fix __dump_page() for poisoned pages
Evaluating page_mapping() on a poisoned page ends up dereferencing junk
and making PF_POISONED_CHECK() considerably crashier than intended:

    Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000006
    Mem abort info:
      ESR = 0x96000005
      Exception class = DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits
      SET = 0, FnV = 0
      EA = 0, S1PTW = 0
    Data abort info:
      ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000005
      CM = 0, WnR = 0
    user pgtable: 4k pages, 39-bit VAs, pgdp = 00000000c2f6ac38

Fix that by not inspecting the mapping until we've determined that it's
likely to be valid.  Now the above condition still ends up stopping the
kernel, but in the correct manner:

    page:ffffffbf20000000 is uninitialized and poisoned
    raw: ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff
    raw: ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff
    page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(p))

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
