Subject: re: jbd: Add fixed tracepoints

Hello Lukas Czerner,

The patch 99cb1a318c37: "jbd: Add fixed tracepoints" from May 23,
2011, leads to the following static checker warning:

	fs/jbd/commit.c:1016 journal_commit_transaction()
	warn: 'commit_transaction' was already freed.

fs/jbd/commit.c
   993          spin_unlock(&journal->j_state_lock);
   994  
   995          if (commit_transaction->t_checkpoint_list == NULL &&
   996              commit_transaction->t_checkpoint_io_list == NULL) {
   997                  __journal_drop_transaction(journal, commit_transaction);
                                                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Freed here.

   998          } else {
   999                  if (journal->j_checkpoint_transactions == NULL) {
