Subject: [PATCH 3.19-rc] btrfs: sync ioctl, handle errors after transaction start
Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2015 14:21:02 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1421673662-11530-1-git-send-email-dsterba@suse.cz> (raw)

The version merged to 3.19 did not handle errors from start_trancaction
and could pass an invalid pointer to commit_transaction.

Fixes: 6b5fe46dfa52441f ("btrfs: do commit in sync_fs if there are pending changes")
Reported-by: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>
Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.cz>

This is a followup to a patch merged during this dev cycle.
