Subject: [PATCH] more helpful WARN_ON and BUG_ON messages
Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2006 11:23:54 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4538F81A.2070007@redhat.com> (raw)

After a few bugs I encountered in FC6 in buffer.c, with output like:

Kernel BUG at fs/buffer.c: 2791

where buffer.c contains:

...
        BUG_ON(!buffer_locked(bh));
        BUG_ON(!buffer_mapped(bh));
        BUG_ON(!bh->b_end_io);
...

around line 2790, it's awfully tedious to go get the exact failing kernel tree
just to see -which- BUG_ON was encountered.

Printing out the failing condition as a string would make this more helpful IMHO.

This is mostly just compile-tested... comments?
