From 491e94f790982bec5a1334dd3db2708de3724bdf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bob Peterson Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2015 11:47:31 -0500 Subject: gfs2: Add missing else in trans_add_meta/data This patch fixes a timing window that causes a segfault. The problem is that bd can remain NULL throughout the function and then reference that NULL pointer if the bh->b_private starts out NULL, then someone sets it to non-NULL inside the locking. In that case, bd still needs to be set.
