Here's the function I wrote:
/********************************************************/
struct inode *secdel_get_journal(struct super_block *sb)
{
struct inode *journal;
journal = ext3_iget(sb, 3);
if (IS_ERR(journal)) {
printk(KERN_ERR "ext3secdel - no journal found.\n");
return NULL;
}
if (!S_ISREG(journal->i_mode)) {
printk(KERN_ERR "ext3secdel - invalid journal inode.\n");
iput(journal);
return NULL;
}
return journal;
}
/********************************************************/
It doesn't crash, but stops on the first error, after the ext3_iget()
call and returns NULL.
