3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Eryu Guan <guane...@gmail.com>
commit 15b49132fc972c63894592f218ea5a9a61b1a18f upstream.
Validate the bh pointer before using it, since
ext4_read_block_bitmap_nowait() might return NULL.
I've seen this in fsfuzz testing.
EXT4-fs error (device loop0): ext4_read_block_bitmap_nowait:385: comm touch:
Cannot get buffer for block bitmap - block_group = 0, block_bitmap = 3925999616
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
