Ocfs2 devel - Dec 2014 - [PATCH] ocfs2: add a mount option journal_async_commit on ocfs2 filesystem

Add a mount option to support JBD2 feature:
JBD2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_ASYNC_COMMIT. When this feature is opened,
journal commit block can be written to disk without waiting for
descriptor blocks, which can improve journal commit performance. This
option will enable 'journal_checksum' internally.

Using the fs_mark benchmark, using journal_async_commit shows a 50%
improvement, the files per second go up from 215.2 to 317.5.

test script:
fs_mark  -d  /mnt/ocfs2/  -s  10240  -n  1000

default:
FSUse%        Count         Size    Files/sec     App Overhead
     0         1000        10240        215.2            17878

with journal_async_commit option:
FSUse%        Count         Size    Files/sec     App Overhead
     0         1000        10240        317.5            17881

For some reason this patch is a bit mangled and I had to apply the
first hunk by hand.

Documentation/filesystems/ocfs2.txt needs an update.
