Hi Jan,

Thanks for your response. Here is the updated patch.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a) Incase journal transaction allocation fails due to ENOMEM don't call
ext4_std_error() since it will remount the fs as readonly and logs the
message in kernel log.

b) Call posix_acl_release() incase journal allocation fails in case
of error paths.
