If (!EXT4_SB(sb)->s_journal), then ext4_journal_start() will return return an "invalid" handle. So this change is purely cosmetic. I don't object to making the change for consistency with the change to be made in ext4_orphan_del() below, but we should remove the !ext4_handle_valid(handle) call in that case. > @@ -2436,6 +2438,8 @@ int ext4_orphan_del(handle_t *handle, struct inode *inode) > struct ext4_iloc iloc; > int err = 0; > > + if (!EXT4_SB(inode->i_sb)->s_journal) > + return 0; > /* ext4_handle_valid() assumes a valid handle_t pointer */ > if (handle && !ext4_handle_valid(handle)) > return 0; We can remove the (handle && !ext4_handle_valid(handle)) conditional here too. - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
