[PATCH 08/11] ext4: Fix end of group handling in ext4_mb_init_cache

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Mon Sep 30 2013 - 16:29:57 EST


From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The first loop in ext4_mb_init_cache can bail out when the end of
all groups is reached. Unfortunately the later loops did not
have that check and could access uninitialized buffer pointers
in bh[]. Add the end of group check everywhere.
