[PATCH v2 07/10] mm: thp: replace DEBUG_VM BUG with VM_WARN when unmap fails for split

From: Hugh Dickins
Date: Wed Jun 09 2021 - 00:22:45 EST


From: Yang Shi <shy828301@xxxxxxxxx>

When debugging the bug reported by Wang Yugui [1], try_to_unmap() may
fail, but the first VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() just checks page_mapcount() however
it may miss the failure when head page is unmapped but other subpage is
mapped. Then the second DEBUG_VM BUG() that check total mapcount would
catch it. This may incur some confusion. And this is not a fatal issue,
so consolidate the two DEBUG_VM checks into one VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_PAGE().
