    xfs: shutdown on failure to add page to log bio · 842a42d1
    Brian Foster authored
    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 59bb4798 ("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.
