[PATCH] mm/pgtable-generic.c: optimize the VM_BUG_ON condition in pmdp_huge_clear_flush()

From: Miaohe Lin
Date: Wed Feb 03 2021 - 03:42:55 EST


The developer will have trouble figuring out why the BUG actually triggered
when there is a complex expression in the VM_BUG_ON. Because we can only
identify the condition triggered BUG via line number provided by VM_BUG_ON.
Optimize this by spliting such a complex expression into two simple
conditions.
