Looking at the jbd2 debug messages, before the oops happened, the jbd2 is aborted due to trying to access the next log block beyond the end of device. This might be caused by using a corrupted image. We need to check the error returns from journal_submit_commit_record() and avoid calling journal_wait_on_commit_record() in the failure case.
