[PATCH v2 3/5] mm: Convert writeback BUG to WARN_ON

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If this BUG() ever triggers, we'll have a dead system with no particular
information.  Dumping the page will give us a fighting chance of debugging
the problem, and I think it's safe for us to just continue if we try
to clear the writeback bit on a page which already has the writeback
bit clear.
