When diffing mmotm just now, I was sorry to find this: NAK.

Alex, please consider why the authors of these lines (whom you
did not Cc) chose to write them without BUG_ON(): it has always
been preferred practice to use BUG_ON() on predicates, but not on
functionally effective statements (sorry, I've forgotten the proper
term: I'd say statements with side-effects, but here they are not
just side-effects: they are their main purpose).

We prefer not to hide those away inside BUG macros: please fix your
"abaci" to respect kernel style here - unless it turns out that the
kernel has moved away from that, and it's me who's behind the times.

Andrew, if you agree, please drop
mm-mmap-replace-if-cond-bug-with-bug_on.patch
from your stack.

(And did Minchan really Ack it? I see an Ack from Minchan to a
similar mm/zsmalloc patch: which surprises me, but is Minchan's
business not mine; but that patch is not in mmotm.)

On the whole, I think there are far too many patches submitted,
where Developer B chooses to rewrite a line to their own preference,
without respecting that Author A chose to write it in another way.
That's great when it really does improve readability, but often not.

Thanks,
Hugh
