How do you think about to use a summary phrase like
“Prevent null pointer dereference in bfs_move_block()”?

Ok, I'll change it in the next version:

bfs: prevent null pointer dereference in bfs_move_block()

Add a check to ensure that a sb_getblk() call did not return NULL before copying data.

  	struct buffer_head *bh, *new;

Can a statement (like the following) become more appropriate for such
a function implementation?

	int ret = 0;

Yes, thank you.
