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. Theodore Ts'o (3): jbd2: Use

...the thread to go to sleep in start_this_handle(), and loop back to the "repeat" label. In looking at how the wake_up() occurs, there exists the following section of code: transaction->t_updates--; if (!transaction->t_updates) { wake_up(&journal->j_wait_updates); if (journal->j_barrier_count) wake_up(&journal->j_wait_transaction_locked); } It would seem to me that this wake_up() will end up being a no-op, as the thread being woken up will go back to sleep since <j_barrier_count> is non-zero. I'...

jbd2_journal_restart() would restart a handle. In this function, it calls start_this_handle(). Before calling start_this_handle()?subtract 1 from transaction->t_updates. If start_this_handle() succeeds, transaction->t_updates increases by 1 in it. But if start_this_handle() fails, transaction->t_updates does not increase. So, when commit the handle's transaction in
