From 599a9b77ab289d85c2d5c8607624efbe1f552b0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2014 10:53:16 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix oops when loading block bitmap failed When we fail to load block bitmap in __ext4_new_inode() we will dereference NULL pointer in ext4_journal_get_write_access(). So check for error from ext4_read_block_bitmap().
