[PATCH] mm: Add process info to bad rss-counter warning

From: Xuanye Liu
Date: Wed Jul 23 2025 - 06:16:01 EST


Enhance the debugging information in check_mm() by including the
process name and PID when reporting bad rss-counter states. This
helps identify which process is associated with the memory accounting
issue.
