Hi Ted,

There is a NULL dereference introduced in linux-next "ext4: Use
ext4_error_file() to print the pathname to the corrupted inode"

fs/ext4/dir.c +170 ext4_readdir(59) error: potential null derefence 'bh'.
   168                  if (!bh) {
   169                          if (!dir_has_error) {
   170                                  EXT4_ERROR_FILE(filp, bh->b_blocknr,
                                                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
	"bh" is null here.

   171                                                  "directory contains a "
   172                                                  "hole at offset %Lu",
   173                                             (unsigned long long) filp->f_pos);
   174                                  dir_has_error = 1;

regards,
dan carpenter
