Hi, today, all oopses contain a version number of the kernel, which is nice because the people who actually do bother to read the oops get this vital bit of information always without having to ask the reporter in another round trip.
However, WARN_ON() right now lacks this information; the patch below adds this. This information is essential for getting people to use their time effectively when looking at these things; in addition, it's essential for tools that try to collect statistics about defects. Please consider, maybe even for 2.6.24 since its so simple and important for long term quality Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- linux-2.6.24-rc3/include/asm-generic/bug.h.org 2007-11-17 09:55:00.000000000 -0800 +++ linux-2.6.24-rc3/include/asm-generic/bug.h 2007-11-17 10:11:23.000000000 -0800 @@ -2,6 +2,7 @@ #define _ASM_GENERIC_BUG_H #include <linux/compiler.h> +#include <linux/utsrelease.h> #ifdef CONFIG_BUG @@ -35,8 +36,8 @@ struct bug_entry { #define WARN_ON(condition) ({ \ int __ret_warn_on = !!(condition); \ if (unlikely(__ret_warn_on)) { \ - printk("WARNING: at %s:%d %s()\n", __FILE__, \ - __LINE__, __FUNCTION__); \ + printk("WARNING: at %s:%d %s() (%s)\n", __FILE__, \ + __LINE__, __FUNCTION__, UTS_RELEASE); \ dump_stack(); \ } \ unlikely(__ret_warn_on); \ -- If you want to reach me at my work email, use [EMAIL PROTECTED] For development, discussion and tips for power savings, visit http://www.lesswatts.org - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
