Oh, I thought you wanted to override loglevel temporally.

old_lvl = save_printk_lvl(new level);
dump_page();
restore_printk_lvl(old_lvl);

That's exactly I did with introducing pr_loglevel. I wanted to address
*all places* to use dump_page and stack_trace_print since some folks
might ask me to fix all the broken place all at once. I'm getting tired
with such hassle.

void dump_page(const char *log_lvl, struct page *page, const char *reason)
{
        __dump_page(log_lvl, page, reason);
        dump_page_owner(log_lvl, page);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(dump_page);

/**
 * pr_loglevel - Print an loglevel message
 * @level: loglevel
 * @fmt: format string
 * @...: arguments for the format string
 *
 * This macro expands to a printk with @loglevel. It uses pr_fmt() to
 * generate the format string.
 */
#define pr_loglevel(level, fmt, ...) \
        printk("%s" pr_fmt(fmt), level, ##__VA_ARGS__)

void __dump_page(const char *log_lvl, struct page *page, const char *reason)
{
..
..
        if (page_poisoned) {
                pr_loglevel(log_lvl, "page:%px is uninitialized and poisoned", page);
                goto hex_only;
        }
..
}

static inline void dump_page_owner(const char *log_lvl, struct page *page)
{
        if (static_branch_unlikely(&page_owner_inited))
                __dump_page_owner(log_lvl, page);
}

void stack_trace_print(const char *log_lvl, const unsigned long *entries,
                unsigned int nr_entries, int spaces)
{
        unsigned int i;

        if (WARN_ON(!entries))
                return;

        for (i = 0; i < nr_entries; i++)
                pr_loglevel(log_lvl, "%*c%pS\n", 1 + spaces, ' ', (void *)entries[i]);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(stack_trace_print);
