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.
