I don't see any path to trigger this error? am I missing something?

     f2fs: avoid ENOSPC fault in the recovery process

     This patch avoids impossible error injection, ENOSPC, during recovery process.

Please check above patch, I guess intention of adding such loop is
to avoid mount failure due to fault injection was triggered in
f2fs_reserve_new_block().

What about change as blew?
- keep the loop to avoid mount failure.
- remove bug_on() to avoid panic due to fault injection error.

#define DEFAULT_RETRY_COUNT		8

		for (loops = DEFAULT_RETRY_COUNT; loops > 0; loops--) {
			err = f2fs_reserve_new_block(&dn);
			if (!err ||
				!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_F2FS_FAULT_INJECTION))
				break;
		}

Thanks,
