This patch is according to Jan Kara's suggestion: I guess I would just get rid of sb_getblk() in read_mmp_block() and always expect valid bh passed. The only place that passes NULL bh after this patch is one case in ext4_multi_mount_protect() and that can call sb_getblk() on its own. That way we can also simplify read_mmp_block() prototype to: static int read_mmp_block(struct super_block *sb, struct buffer_head *bh); Signed-off-by: Ye Bin <yebin10@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> --- fs/ext4/mmp.c | 44 +++++++++++++++++++------------------------- 1 file changed, 19 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/ext4/mmp.c b/fs/ext4/mmp.c index 9788c617e593..3a7370c88934 100644 --- a/fs/ext4/mmp.c +++ b/fs/ext4/mmp.c @@ -64,33 +64,26 @@ static int write_mmp_block(struct super_block *sb, struct buffer_head *bh) /* * Read the MMP block.
