Linus Torvalds 50f5aa8a9b mm: don't pointlessly use BUG_ON() for sanity check ... BUG_ON() is a big hammer, and should be used _only_ if there is some major corruption that you cannot possibly recover from, making it imperative that the current process (and possibly the whole machine) be terminated with extreme prejudice. The trivial sanity check in the vmacache code is *not* such a fatal error. Recovering from it is absolutely trivial, and using BUG_ON() just makes it harder to debug for no actual advantage. To make matters worse, the placement of the BUG_ON() (only if the range check matched) actually makes it harder to hit the sanity check to begin with, so _if_ there is a bug (and we just got a report from Srivatsa Bhat that this can indeed trigger), it is harder to debug not just because the machine is possibly dead, but because we don't have better coverage. BUG_ON() must *die*. Maybe we should add a checkpatch warning for it, because it is simply just about the worst thing you can ever do if you hit some "this cannot happen" situation.
