[Cluster-devel] [GFS2 PATCH] GFS2: check NULL return value in gfs2_ok_to_move

[Abhijith Das <adas@redhat.com>]

Err... a heads up: We might have to revise this patch. I just ran fsck on the fs
after cleanly unmounting it and it came back with a bunch of errors complaining
about inodes missing '.' and '..' directories. I haven't looked at the fsck
log in detail, but I'll know more when I investigate it later today.

Holding off on posting RHEL6/7 versions of this patch.

Cheers!
