The BUG_ON check performed on the return value of __getblk() in nilfs_finish_roll_forward() assumes that a buffer that has been successfully read once is retrieved with the same parameters and does not fail (__getblk() does not return an error due to memory allocation failure). Also, nilfs_finish_roll_forward() is called at most once during mount. Taking these into consideration, rewrite the check to use WARN_ON() to avoid using BUG_ON().

This is a change to reduce BUG_ONs in legacy usage. fs/nilfs2/recovery.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/fs/nilfs2/recovery.c b/fs/nilfs2/recovery.c index e48372618ac4..020f304c600e 100644 --- a/fs/nilfs2/recovery.c +++ b/fs/nilfs2/recovery.c @@ -699,7 +699,9 @@ static void nilfs_finish_roll_forward(struct the_nilfs *nilfs, return; bh = __getblk(nilfs->ns_bdev, ri->ri_lsegs_start, nilfs->ns_blocksize); - BUG_ON(!bh); + if (WARN_ON(!bh)) + return; /* should never happen */ + memset(bh->b_data, 0, bh->b_size); set_buffer_dirty(bh); err = sync_dirty_buffer(bh); -- 2.34.1
