Subject[27/45] ext4: Avoid null pointer dereference when decoding EROFS w/o a journal
2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

commit 78f1ddbb498283c2445c11b0dfa666424c301803 upstream.

We need to check to make sure a journal is present before checking the
journal flags in ext4_decode_error().
