[PATCH 1/3] jbd2: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference in jbd2_journal_begin_ordered_truncate()
If we race with commit code setting i_transaction to NULL, we could possibly
dereference it. Proper locking requires journal pointer (journal->j_list_lock)
we don't have. So we have to change the prototype of the function so that
filesystem passes us the journal pointer. Also add more detailed comment
about why function does what it does ho...

[PATCH -v2 0/3] jbd2 scalability patches
This version fixes three bugs in the 2nd patch of this series that
caused kernel BUG when the system was under race. We weren't accounting
with t_oustanding_credits correctly, and there were race conditions
caused by the fact the I had overlooked the fact that
__jbd2_log_wait_for_space() and jbd2_get_transaction() requires
j_state_lock to be write locked.
