Hi Kim,

A better way to handle this situation is to get_write_access much sooner,
when things can still be rolled back properly.
Please find below a patch I am using in next3 to fix some un-handled
journal errors
and see if you can/want to use any of it as reference for your patches.

Amir.


Some places in Ext3 original code don't check for return value of
JBD functions.  Check for snapshot/journal errors in those places.
