From f0b791a34cb3cffd2bbc3ca4365c9b719fa2c9f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Hansen Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2014 15:52:49 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: print more details for bad_page() bad_page() is cool in that it prints out a bunch of data about the page. But, I can never remember which page flags are good and which are bad, or whether ->index or ->mapping is required to be NULL. This patch allows bad/dump_page() callers to specify a string about why they are dumping the page and adds explanation strings to a number of places. It also adds a 'bad_flags' argument to bad_page(), which it then dumps out separately from the flags which are actually set. This way, the messages will show specifically why the page was bad, *specifically* which flags it is complaining about, if it was a page flag combination which was the problem.
