Subject: Re: jbd2_journal_commit_transaction oops

Hi Avantika,
	From initial code review I think oops in crc32_be is caused as
bh->b_data passed to the function is NULL. Most probably something might
have gone wrong in jbd2_journal_write_metadata_buffer() making bh->data
= 0.
Does the error go away, when run without journal_checksum patch/option ?

Regards,
Girish.
