[PATCH] Test for sb_getblk return value
This patch adds tests for the return value of sb_getblk() in the ext2/3 filesystems. In fs/buffer.c it is stated that the getblk() function never fails. However, it does can return NULL in some situations due to I/O errors, which may lead us to NULL pointer dereferences Signed-off-by: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <glommer@br.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
