When the filesystem is being mounted, the kernel panics while the data regarding slot map allocation to the local node, is being written to the disk. This occurs because the value of slot map buffer head block number, which should have been greater than or equal to `OCFS2_SUPER_BLOCK_BLKNO` (evaluating to 2) is less than it, indicative of disk metadata corruption. This triggers BUG_ON(bh->b_blocknr < OCFS2_SUPER_BLOCK_BLKNO) in ocfs2_write_block(), causing the kernel to panic.
This is fixed by introducing an if condition block in ocfs2_update_disk_slot(), right before calling ocfs2_write_block(), which checks if `bh->b_blocknr` is lesser than `OCFS2_SUPER_BLOCK_BLKNO`; if yes, then ocfs2_error is called, which prints the error log, for debugging purposes, and the return value of ocfs2_error() is returned back to caller of ocfs2_update_disk_slot() i.e. ocfs2_find_slot(). If the return value is zero. then error code EIO is returned.
