Subject: [PATCH] mm: slub: do not VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() for temporary on-stack pages


From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@...ux.intel.com>

This patch:

	commit 309381feaee564281c3d9e90fbca8963bb7428ad
	Author: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@...cle.com>

	Subject: mm: dump page when hitting a VM_BUG_ON using VM_BUG_ON_PAGE

added a bunch of VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() calls.  But, most of the ones
in the slub code are for _temporary_ 'struct page's which are
declared on the stack and likely have lots of gunk in them.
Dumping their contents out will just confuse folks looking at
bad_page() output.  Plus, if we try to page_to_pfn() on them or
soemthing, we'll probably oops anyway.

Turn them back in to VM_BUG_ON()s.

I believe this is 3.14 material.
