Provide a function which returns whether a transaction with given tid
will send a flush to the filesystem device.  The function will be used
by ext4 to detect whether fsync needs to send a separate flush or not.

In data=ordered mode, it's theoretically possible (however rare) that
an inode is filed to transaction's t_inode_list and a flusher thread
writes all the data and inode is reclaimed before the transaction
starts to commit.  In such a case, we could erroneously omit sending a
flush to file system device when it is different from the journal
device (because data can still be in disk cache only).

Fix the problem by setting a flag in a transaction when some inode is added
to it and then send disk flush in the commit code when the flag is set.

<title>jbd2: Fix the wrong calculation of t_max_wait in update_t_max_wait</title>

<content type='text'>
t_max_wait is added in commit 8e85fb3f to indicate how long we
were waiting for new transaction to start. In commit 6d0bf005,
it is moved to another function named update_t_max_wait to
avoid a build warning. But the wrong thing is that the original
'ts' is initialized in the start of function start_this_handle
and we can calculate t_max_wait in the right way. while with
this change, ts is initialized within the function and t_max_wait
can never be calculated right.

This patch moves the initialization of ts to the original beginning
of start_this_handle and pass it to function update_t_max_wait so
that it can be calculated right and the build warning is avoided also.

In do_get_write_access() we wait on BH_Unshadow bit for buffer to get
from shadow state. The waking code in journal_commit_transaction() has
a bug because it does not issue a memory barrier after the buffer is
moved from the shadow state and before wake_up_bit() is called. Thus a
waitqueue check can happen before the buffer is actually moved from
the shadow state and waiting process may never be woken. Fix the
problem by issuing proper barrier.

If an application program does not make any changes to the indirect
blocks or extent tree, i_datasync_tid will not get updated.  If there
are enough commits (i.e., 2**31) such that tid_geq()'s calculations
wrap, and there isn't a currently active transaction at the time of
the fdatasync() call, this can end up triggering a BUG_ON in
fs/jbd2/commit.c:

	J_ASSERT(journal-&gt;j_running_transaction != NULL);

It's pretty rare that this can happen, since it requires the use of
fdatasync() plus *very* frequent and excessive use of fsync().  But
with the right workload, it can.

We fix this by replacing the use of tid_geq() with an equality test,
since there's only one valid transaction id that we is valid for us to
wait until it is commited: namely, the currently running transaction
(if it exists).
