right, I had an issue with this as well.
Another option would be:
pr_emerg("vma %px start %px end %px mm %px\n"
"prot %lx anon_vma %px vm_ops %px\n"
"pgoff %lx file %px private_data %px\n",
<big mess here>);
dump_vma_refcnt();
pr_emerg("flags:...", vma_vm_flags);
Then dump_vma_refcnt() either dumps the refcnt or does nothing,
depending on the config option.
Either way is good with me. Lorenzo's suggestion is in line with the
file and it's clear as to why the refcnt might be missing, but I don't
really see this being an issue in practice.
Thanks,
Liam
