[PATCH 1/3] ext4 : Fix error handling in acl.c if journal start fails

[Manish Katiyar <mkatiyar@gmail.com>]

Hi Ted,

   This patch fixes following issues.

a) Incase journal transaction allocation fails due to ENOMEM
don't call ext4_std_error() since it will remount the fs as readonly
and logs the message in kernel log.

b) Call posix_acl_release() incase journal allocation fails in case
of error paths.
