Subject: [PATCH 7/7] UML - Improve SIGBUS diagnostics
Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2006 23:06:30 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200607280306.k6S36UcA007951@ccure.user-mode-linux.org> (raw)

UML can get a SIGBUS anywhere if the tmpfs mount being used for its
memory runs out of space.  This patch adds a printk before the panic
to provide a clue as to what likely went wrong.
