Subject: [PATCH] hpfs: add debug logging to hpfs_bplus_lookup
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com
#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master
This is a debug patch to understand the use-after-free issue reported
by syzbot. It adds extensive logging to track:
- Buffer head addresses and lifecycle
- btree pointer values and offsets
- Array access patterns before crashes
- Internal vs external node processing
This will help identify exactly where and why the use-after-free occurs.
NOT FOR MERGE - DEBUG ONLY
