[ It's weird that kbuild didn't catch this ]. Hello Vyacheslav Dubeyko, The patch bb594c4767b0: "nilfs2: fix issue with flush kernel thread after remount in RO mode because of driver's internal error or metadata corruption" from Apr 18, 2013, leads to the following warning: "fs/nilfs2/inode.c:211 nilfs_writepage() error: we previously assumed 'inode' could be null (see line 195)" fs/nilfs2/inode.c 190 static int nilfs_writepage(struct page *page, struct writeback_control *wbc) 191 { 192 struct inode *inode = page->mapping->host; 193 int err; 194 195 if (inode && (inode->i_sb->s_flags & MS_RDONLY)) { ^^^^^ New check. 196 /* 197 * It means that filesystem was remounted in read-only 198 * mode because of error or metadata corruption.
