Any feedback on this ?
The patch looks good, but it doesn't fix bug #26752.

The root cause of that bug is the fact that ext4_sync_fs() and
ext4_put_super() assumes that sbi has been initialized.
Hi Ted,

Is there anything else that I need to do to get this merged in your tree ?
Hmm.. Actually I was looking at generic_super_shutdown() which I
thought would call ext4_put_super() only if sb->root is set, and since
I was setting sb->root explicitly to NULL in my patch in case of
failures.
