        if (WARN(inode->i_nlink == 0,
-               "inode %lu nlink is already 0", inode->i_ino))
+               "inode %lu nlink is already 0, dev=%u:%u",
+               inode->i_ino, MAJOR(inode->i_sb->s_dev), MINOR(inode->i_sb->s_dev)))
                return;

We can modify as above, it's enough to know which filesystem is having the
