Please don't do that.  Fail the operation instead.  You can also use WARN_ON
or WARN if you _really_ want the user to notice the failure.

BUG_ON's like this are annoying like hell for testers who trigger them.

Why do we need that clear_page()?

Please move these two lines out of the if()/else.

I'd split the above into two functions, one for writing and the other for
reading.

Doing the same with sws_rw_buffer() (under a better name), for the sake of
clarity, also might make some sense, apparently.
