[PATCH v2] NULL pointer when make_indexed_dir returns -ENOSPC

[PATCH v2] NULL pointer when make_indexed_dir returns -ENOSPC

[Allison Henderson]

Hi all,

I wasnt sure if people were expecting a v2 for this one, but I noticed 
the modified version of v1 was removed from the tree, so I am assuming 
we needed v2?  This one handles marking the buffer dirty before calling 
do split to avoid the null pointer.  It introduces a little overhead, 
but the only other option would be to introduce a new flag set to 
do_split.  But if there's any one that would prefer the flags to this 
solution, please let me know.  Thx! :)

Applied, thanks.  In the future, I'd appreciate it if you resent the
patch with a formal commit description.  I recreated the commit
description from the older patch in this case.

Thanks Ted.  Sorry about the description, I think I have another small 
patch out there like that.  I will send out an update.  Thx!

  The patch looks OK. Just please CC me next time - a) because ext3 needs a
similar fix (added now) and b) because I was involved with the previous
patch version. Thanks!

Sure, I just thought I would save people from the extra spam since it 
was already seen, but I will keep you cc'd next time. Thx!
