It would be nice if BUG(), BUG_ON(), and panic() calls would be
converted to proper error handling using WARN_ON() calls. The BUG()
call in nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints(), for example, looks to be
triggerable from user-space via the ioctl() system call (albeit I
didn't look too closely). Furthermore, the BUG() calls in error paths
of fs/nilfs2/ioctl.c look really fishy.

On a related note, there are quite a few new ioctls there. Are they
described somewhere? Also, can they be converted to use
->unlocked_ioctl? It's bit sad that we're adding new users of BKL in
shiny new code.

                           Pekka
