Subject: ext4: fix NULL pointer deref in journal_wait_on_commit_record()
From: Mingming Cao <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9849
The buffer head pointer passed to journal_wait_on_commit_record() could be
NULL if the previous journal_submit_commit_record() failed or journal has
already aborted.
We need to check the error returns from journal_submit_commit_record() and
avoid calling journal_wait_on_commit_record() in the failure case.
