If struct page is poisoned, and uninitialized access is detected via
PF_POISONED_CHECK(page) dump_page() is called to output the page. But,
the dump_page() itself accesses struct page to determine how to print
it, and therefore gets into a recursive loop.
For example:
dump_page()
__dump_page()
PageSlab(page)
PF_POISONED_CHECK(page)
VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS(PagePoisoned(page), page)
dump_page() recursion loop.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
