If the bio_add_page() call fails, we proceed to write out a
partially constructed log buffer. This corrupts the physical log
such that log recovery is not possible. Worse, persistent
occurrences of this error eventually lead to a BUG_ON() failure in
bio_split() as iclogs wrap the end of the physical log, which
triggers log recovery on subsequent mount.
Rather than warn about writing out a corrupted log buffer, shutdown
the fs as is done for any log I/O related error. This preserves the
consistency of the physical log such that log recovery succeeds on a
subsequent mount. Note that this was observed on a 64k page debug
kernel without upstream commit 59bb47985c ("mm, sl[aou]b:
guarantee natural alignment for kmalloc(power-of-two)"), which
demonstrated frequent iclog bio overflows due to unaligned (slab
allocated) iclog data buffers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
