+ * mem_dump_obj - Print available provenance information
+ * @object: object for which to find provenance information.

+ * This function uses pr_cont(), so that the caller is expected to have
+ * printed out whatever preamble is appropriate.  The provenance information
+ * depends on the type of object and on how much debugging is enabled.
+ * For example, for a slab-cache object, the slab name is printed, and,
+ * if available, the return address and stack trace from the allocation
+ * of that object.
