The patch titled
     Subject: mm: pass VM_BUG_ON() reason to dump_page()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-pass-vm_bug_on-reason-to-dump_page.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: pass VM_BUG_ON() reason to dump_page()

I recently added a patch to let folks pass a "reason" string dump_page()
which gets dumped out along with the page's data.  This essentially saves
the bug-reader a trip in to the source to figure out why we BUG_ON()'d.

The new VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() passes in NULL for "reason".  It seems like we
might as well pass the BUG_ON() condition if we have it.  This will bloat
kernels a bit with ~160 new strings, but this is all under a debugging
option anyway.

	page:ffffea0008560280 count:1 mapcount:0 mapping:(null) index:0x0
	page flags: 0xbfffc0000000001(locked)
	page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageLocked(page))
	------------[ cut here ]------------
