While playing with fault injection, I hit this quite easily.
kernel BUG at fs/btrfs/extent_io.c:990!
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
CPU: 1 PID: 1270 Comm: fsx Not tainted 3.16.0+ #41

989 prealloc = alloc_extent_state_atomic(prealloc);
990 BUG_ON(!prealloc);
541 static struct extent_state *
542 alloc_extent_state_atomic(struct extent_state *prealloc)
543 {
544 if (!prealloc)
545 prealloc = alloc_extent_state(GFP_ATOMIC);
546
547 return prealloc;
548 }
Going BUG() on a GFP_ATOMIC allocation failure seems a bit excessive.
Surely there's something better we can do here ?
