fs/gfs2/trans.c:176 databuf_lo_add() error: we previously assumed 'tr' could be null (see line 168)

[ It could be that gfs2_is_jdata(ip) implies tr is non-NULL, I'm not
familiar enough with the subsystem to say ].

Hi,

Yes, it does. The code should not have changed, I just reorganised it, so I guess that was enough to get this warning flagged up,

Steve.
