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))
