[PATCH 1/3] percpu-refcount: improve WARN messages

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Sun Sep 07 2014 - 22:12:51 EST


percpu_ref's WARN messages can be a lot more helpful by indicating
who's the culprit. Make them report the release function that the
offending percpu-refcount is associated with. This should make it a
lot easier to track down the reported invalid refcnting operations.
