[ Upstream commit 22d41cdcd3 ]
The checks for page->mapping are odd, as set_page_dirty is an
address_space operation, and I don't see where it would be called on a
non-pagecache page.
The warning about the page lock also seems bogus. The comment over
set_page_dirty() says that it can be called without the page lock in
some rare cases. I don't think we want to warn if that's the case.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
