Here is the code in bio.c, fs_bio_set is as the actual parameter pass to bs without being inited. So it may have opportunity to return NULL in this function. --- Bio.c struct bio *bio_alloc_bioset(gfp_t gfp_mask, int nr_iovecs, struct bio_set *bs) { ...... if (!bs) { if (nr_iovecs > UIO_MAXIOV) return NULL; --- I did the abnormal test: modify the max_sectors_kb in /sys/block/sdx/queue to 32767 for a disk with f2fs format, and I got a segfualt in f2fs_bio_alloc after the img mounted.
