[backport v3.12 PATCH 1/3] mm: pass VM_BUG_ON() reason to dump_page()

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

 



From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit e4f674229ce63dac60be0c4ddfb5ef8d1225d30d upstream

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 ]------------
	kernel BUG at /home/davehans/linux.git/mm/filemap.c:464!
	invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP
	CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.14.0+ #251
