Hello.
Starting with Linux 5.12 bcache triggers a BUG() after a few minutes of
usage.
Linux up to 5.11.x is not affected by this bug.
Environment:
- Debian 10 AMD 64
- Kernel 5.12 - 5.12.4
- Filesystem ext4
- Backing device: degraded software RAID-6 (MD) with 3 of 4 disks active
(unsure if the degraded RAID-6 has an effect or not)
- Cache device: Single SSD
Kernel log:
May 12 20:22:24 tek04 kernel: nr_vecs=472

A printk has been added to line 52 of block/bio.c to dump the nr_vecs
variable to the kernel log before the BUG(). Obviously nr_vecs (472
logged) is bigger than expected by bvec_alloc/bio_alloc_bioset (max
256), which finally triggers the BUG().
Removing the BUG() from line 52 of block/bio.c, thus basically restoring
the Linux 5.11.x behavior of bvec_alloc/bio_alloc_bioset to just return
NULL, when nr_vecs is too big seems to resolve the issue.

Thorsten
