possible bug using async_xor() call in ops_run_post_xor()

I am looking at async_xor() usage and found that if async_xor() returns null because of device->device_prep_dma_xor() <async_xor.c> failed to get slot. This might cause failure of stripe creation . Which would cause data corruption in RAID-5 at high data rates. OR Data integrity is guaranteed because ops_complete_write() will not be called in the event of device->device_prep_dma_xor() failed to get slot and returned NULL ?
