In bch_btree_cache_alloc() when CONFIG_BCACHE_DEBUG is configured, allocate memory for c->verify_ondisk may fail if the bucket size > 8MB, which will require __get_free_pages() to allocate continuous pages with order > 11 (the default MAX_ORDER of Linux buddy allocator). Such over size allocation will fail, and cause 2 problems, - When CONFIG_BCACHE_DEBUG is configured, bch_btree_verify() does not work, because c->verify_ondisk is NULL and bch_btree_verify() returns immediately. - bch_btree_cache_alloc() will fail due to c->verify_ondisk allocation failed, then the whole cache device registration fails. And because of this failure, the first problem of bch_btree_verify() has no chance to be triggered. This patch fixes the above problem by two means, 1) If pages allocation of c->verify_ondisk fails, set it to NULL and returns bch_btree_cache_alloc() with -ENOMEM. 2) When calling __get_free_pages() to allocate c->verify_ondisk pages, use ilog2(meta_bucket_pages(&c->sb)) to make sure ilog2() will always generate a pages order <= MAX_ORDER (or CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER). Then the buddy system won't directly reject the allocation request.
