We don't typically have more than one place that destroys a pool. What might be helpful would be something that said who allocated and didn't free the object, but again, there's typically only one place which allocates from any given pool, so even that would be all that helpful. I'm not particularly impressed by these patches which don't actually justify themselves.

What value does this actually have? Presumably so we get a backtrace in order to identify the errant caller. I added a bit to the changelog: : The pool is being destroyed so all pages which are in the pool should be : free. If some page is still in use by somebody, we should not just output : error logs, also should also add a WARN message so the stack backtrace may : be used to identify the caller.

There's already a warning message. What value does this actually have?

[PATCH] mm/dmapool.c: add WARN_ON() in dma_pool_destroy
From: Zhang Qiang
The pool is being destroyed, all page which in the pool,
should be free. if some page is still be use by somebody,
we should not just output error logs, also should also add
a warning message.
