4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx> commit e112666b4959b25a8552d63bc564e1059be703e8 upstream. If the journal has been aborted, we shouldn't mark the underlying buffer head as dirty, since that will cause the metadata block to get modified. And if the journal has been aborted, we shouldn't allow this since it will almost certainly lead to a corrupted file system.
