    ext4: add missing error check in __ext4_new_inode() · 996fc447
    Theodore Ts'o authored
    It's possible for ext4_get_acl() to return an ERR_PTR.  So we need to
    add a check for this case in __ext4_new_inode().  Otherwise on an
    error we can end up oops the kernel.
    
    This was getting triggered by xfstests generic/388, which is a test
    which exercises the shutdown code path.
