[PATCH v2] mm: vmscan: add VM_BUG_ON on illegal return values from scan_objects

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

 



Add a VM_BUG_ON to catch any illegal value from the shrinkers. It's a
potential bug if scan_objects returns a negative other than -1 and
would lead to undefined behaviour.
