RE: [PATCH] xfs: Abort intent log item in xfs_iflush() upon error to get buf

[Shyam Kaushik <shyam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Dave.

You are right that xfs_trans_read_buf_map() is initializing it but
xfs_imap_to_bp() being in the middle spoils it by passing its own local
bp.

Ok, I'll check that - I thought that xfs_trans_buf_read_map() was
initialising it to zero appropriately, but obviously I missed
something.

Thanks for testing!
