Yes, but if you BUG() in this kind of location, the chance of getting the debugging information from the user can be close to zero.

I hear we have infrastructure for that :-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
