From: Dave Hansen <dave.han...@linux.intel.com>
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))
