<title>jbd: Fix assertion failure in fs/jbd/checkpoint.c</title>

<id>d4beaf4ab5f89496f2bcf67db62ad95d99bfeff6</id>
<content type='text'>
Before we start committing a transaction, we call
__journal_clean_checkpoint_list() to cleanup transaction's written-back
buffers.

If this call happens to remove all of them (and there were already some
buffers), __journal_remove_checkpoint() will decide to free the transaction
because it isn't (yet) a committing transaction and soon we fail some
assertion - the transaction really isn't ready to be freed :).

We change the check in __journal_remove_checkpoint() to free only a
transaction in T_FINISHED state.  The locking there is subtle though (as
everywhere in JBD ;().  We use j_list_lock to protect the check and a
subsequent call to __journal_drop_transaction() and do the same in the end
of journal_commit_transaction() which is the only place where a transaction
can get to T_FINISHED state.

Probably I'm too paranoid here and such locking is not really necessary -
checkpoint lists are processed only from log_do_checkpoint() where a
transaction must be already committed to be processed or from
__journal_clean_checkpoint_list() where kjournald itself calls it and thus
transaction cannot change state either.  Better be safe if something
changes in future...

<title>jbd: config_jbd_debug cannot create /proc entry</title>

<content type='text'>
The jbd-debug file used to be located in /proc/sys/fs/jbd-debug, but
create_proc_entry() does not do lookups on file names that are more that
one directory deep.  This causes the entry creation to fail and hence, no
proc file is created.

Instead of fixing this on procfs might as well move the jbd2-debug file to
debugfs which would be the preferred location for this kind of tunable.
The new location is now /sys/kernel/debug/jbd/jbd-debug.

JBD: Replace slab allocations with page allocations

JBD allocate memory for committed_data and frozen_data from slab. However
JBD should not pass slab pages down to the block layer. Use page allocator pages instead. This will also prepare JBD for the large blocksize patchset.
