5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Immad Mir <mirimmad17@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 47cfdc338d674d38f4b2f22b7612cc6a2763ba27 ] Syzkaller reported an issue where txBegin may be called on a superblock in a read-only mounted filesystem which leads to NULL pointer deref. This could be solved by checking if the filesystem is read-only before calling txBegin, and returning with appropiate error code.
