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 ]------------ 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 Hardware name: Bochs Bochs, BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 ...
