From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The BH_Delay and BH_Unwritten flags should never leak out to submit_bh(). So add some BUG_ON() checks to submit_bh so we can get a stack trace and determine how and why this might have happened. (Note that only XFS and ext4 use these buffer head flags, and XFS does not use submit_bh(). So this patch should only modify behavior for ext4.)
