Patch series "Actually fix freelist pointer vs redzoning", v4. This fixes redzoning vs the freelist pointer (both for middle-position and very small caches). Both are "theoretical" fixes, in that I see no evidence of such small-sized caches actually be used in the kernel, but that's no reason to let the bugs continue to exist, especially since people doing local development keep tripping over it. :) This patch (of 3): Instead of repeating "Redzone" and "Poison", clarify which sides of those zones got tripped. Additionally fix column alignment in the trailer. Before: BUG test (Tainted: G B ): Redzone overwritten ... Redzone (____ptrval____): bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb ........
