Subject: [PATCH] fix null handler of ioctls in no journal mode
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2009 19:03:46 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1247223826-24378-1-git-send-email-bergwolf@gmail.com> (raw)

EXT4_IOC_GROUP_ADD and EXT4_IOC_GROUP_EXTEND ioctls should not flush journal
in no_journal mode.

This can be triggered by running resize2fs on a mounted no_journal partition
as follows:
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1 -O ^has_journal
enlarge /dev/sdb1 in partition table
mount /dev/sdb1
resize2fs /dev/sdb1

And it will get these error message:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000014
IP: [<c039d282>] _spin_lock+0x8/0x19
*pde = 00000000 
Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP
