4.2.8-ckt7 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From: Joe Thornber <[email protected]> commit 2eae9e4489b4cf83213fa3bd508b5afca3f01780 upstream. If a transaction abort has failed then we can no longer use the metadata device. Typically this happens if the superblock is unreadable. This fix addresses a crash seen during metadata device failure testing.
