Subject: [PATCH mm,percpu_ref,rcu 2/6] mm: Make mem_dump_obj() handle NULL and zero-sized pointers
Date: Tue,  5 Jan 2021 17:17:46 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210106011750.13709-2-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210106011603.GA13180@paulmck-ThinkPad-P72>

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>

This commit makes mem_dump_obj() call out NULL and zero-sized pointers
specially instead of classifying them as non-paged memory.
