I'm sorry for a late reply. I was on vacation last week.  Yes, so once you
call jbd2_journal_get_undo_access(), jh->b_committed_data can become NULL
only during transaction commit. So I'm not sure how it could happen that
ocfs2_block_group_clear_bits() sees NULL b_committed data after doing
jbd2_journal_get_undo_access()... That certainly requires more
investigation before papering over the problem. I can see the reporter had
a crashdumping enabled so should be able to show in which state the
journal, handle, and jh is and maybe that will give us a clue.
