NOTE: this patch depends on the pending device_area_is_invalid() patch: http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/37759/ --- The lack of context in two dm-table warnings has already proven unfortunate when analyzing the root-cause of these warnings. Two recent fixes went in to address issues that triggered these terse warnings: 5dea271b6d87bd1d79a59c1d5baac2596a841c37 ea9df47cc92573b159ef3b4fda516c32cba9c4fd If the warnings contained the additional info that this patch provides it would have made life easier on both the developers and end-users. Having specific information up-front will improve the dialog with users that hit these warnings in the future.
