I'm debugging a wireless issue that is apparently a write-after-free
issue with skbs.

....
I get a backtrace for the point at which this is detected, but it seems what would
really be useful is a backtrace for where it was freed.
Is there any way to get that information printed out by slub debugging?
Thanks,
Ben
