I think there is no problem at all as well.
The last argument of erofs_grab_bio is nofail, and here is "true".

415 static inline struct bio *erofs_grab_bio(struct super_block *sb,
416                                          erofs_blk_t blkaddr,
417                                          unsigned int nr_pages,
418                                          void *bi_private, bio_end_io_t endio,
419                                          bool nofail)
420 {
421         const gfp_t gfp = GFP_NOIO;
422         struct bio *bio;
423
424         do {
425                 if (nr_pages == 1) {
426                         bio = bio_alloc(gfp | (nofail ? __GFP_NOFAIL : 0), 1);
427                         if (unlikely(!bio)) {
428                                 DBG_BUGON(nofail);
429                                 return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
430                         }
431                         break;
432                 }
433                 bio = bio_alloc(gfp, nr_pages);
434                 nr_pages /= 2;
435         } while (unlikely(!bio));
436
437         bio->bi_end_io = endio;
438         bio_set_dev(bio, sb->s_bdev);
439         bio->bi_iter.bi_sector = (sector_t)blkaddr << LOG_SECTORS_PER_BLOCK;
440         bio->bi_private = bi_private;
441         return bio;
442 }

You can see __GFP_NOFAIL is set, Am I missing something?

Thanks,
