    [PATCH] mm: VM_BUG_ON · 725d704e
    Nick Piggin authored
    Introduce a VM_BUG_ON, which is turned on with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM.  Use this
    in the lightweight, inline refcounting functions; PageLRU and PageActive
    checks in vmscan, because they're pretty well confined to vmscan.  And in
    page allocate/free fastpaths which can be the hottest parts of the kernel
    for kbuilds.
    
    Unlike BUG_ON, VM_BUG_ON must not be used to execute statements with
    side-effects, and should not be used outside core mm code.
