The code indicates that journal_init_common() fills the journal_t object
it returns while the comment incorrectly states that only a few fields are
initialised. Also, the comment claims that journal structures could be
created from scratch which isn't possible as journal_init_common() calls
journal_load_superblock() which loads and checks journal superblock from
disk.

The b_frozen_data allocation should not be failed during journal
committing process, otherwise jbd2 will abort.
Since commit 490c1b444ce653d("jbd2: do not fail journal because of
frozen_buffer allocation failure") already added '__GFP_NOFAIL' flag
in do_get_write_access(), just add '__GFP_NOFAIL' flag for all allocations
in jbd2_journal_write_metadata_buffer(), like 'new_bh' allocation does.
Besides, remove all error handling branches for do_get_write_access().

In __jbd2_log_wait_for_space(), we might call jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail()
to recover some journal space. But if an error occurs while executing
jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() (e.g., an EIO), we don't stop waiting for free
space right away, we try other branches, and if j_committing_transaction
is NULL (i.e., the tid is 0), we will get the following complain:
============================================
JBD2: I/O error when updating journal superblock for sdd-8.
__jbd2_log_wait_for_space: needed 256 blocks and only had 217 space available

When a full journal commit is on-going, any fast commit has to be enqueued
into a different queue: FC_Q_STAGING instead of FC_Q_MAIN. This enqueueing
is done only once, i.e. if an inode is already queued in a previous fast
commit entry it won't be enqueued again. However, if a full commit starts
_after_ the inode is enqueued into FC_Q_MAIN, the next fast commit needs to
be done into FC_Q_STAGING. And this is not being done in function
ext4_fc_track_template().
This patch fixes the issue by re-enqueuing an inode into the STAGING queue
during the fast commit clean-up callback when doing a full commit. However,
to prevent a race with a fast-commit, the clean-up callback has to be called
with the journal locked.
This bug was found using fstest generic/047. This test creates several 32k
bytes files, sync'ing each of them after it's creation, and then shutting
down the filesystem. Some data may be loss in this operation; for example a
file may have it's size truncated to zero.

Originally, we were quite conservative in limiting maximum transaction
size to a quarter of the journal because we were not accounting
transaction descriptor and revoke blocks. These days we do properly
account them and reserve space for them from the total transaction
credits. Thus there's no need to be so conservative and we can increase
the maximum transaction size to one third of the journal (even half
should work fine in principle but the performance will likely suffer in
that case). This also fixes failures to grow filesystems with tiny
journals.

In jbd2_journal_init_common() we set batch size of a shrinker shrinking
checkpointed buffers to journal->j_max_transaction_buffers. But that is
guaranteed to be 0 at that point so we effectively stay with the default
shrinker batch size of 128. It has been like this since introduction of
jbd2 shrinkers so just drop the pointless initialization.

Commit 9f356e5a4f ("jbd2: Account descriptor blocks into
t_outstanding_credits") started to account descriptor blocks into
transactions outstanding credits. However it didn't appropriately
decrease the maximum amount of credits available to userspace. Thus if
the filesystem requests a transaction smaller than
j_max_transaction_buffers but large enough that when descriptor blocks
are added the size exceeds j_max_transaction_buffers, we confuse
add_transaction_credits() into thinking previous handles have grown the
transaction too much and enter infinite journal commit loop in
start_this_handle() -> add_transaction_credits() trying to create
transaction with enough credits available.
Fix the problem by properly accounting for transaction space reserved
for descriptor blocks when verifying requested transaction handle size.

Instead of computing the number of descriptor blocks a transaction can
have each time we need it (which is currently when starting each
transaction but will become more frequent later) precompute the number
once during journal initialization together with maximum transaction
size. We perform the precomputation whenever journal feature set is
updated similarly as for computation of
journal->j_revoke_records_per_block.

There's no reason to have jbd2_journal_get_max_txn_bufs() public
function. Currently all users are internal and can use
journal->j_max_transaction_buffers instead. This saves some unnecessary
recomputations of the limit as a bonus which becomes important as this
function gets more complex in the following patch.

We encountered a problem that the file system could not be mounted in
the power-off scenario. The analysis of the file system mirror shows that
only part of the data is written to the last commit block.
The valid data of the commit block is concentrated in the first sector.
However, the data of the entire block is involved in the checksum calculation.
For different hardware, the minimum atomic unit may be different.
If the checksum of a committed block is incorrect, clear the data except the
'commit_header' and then calculate the checksum. If the checkusm is correct,
it is considered that the block is partially committed, Then continue to replay
journal.

jbd2_transaction_committed() is used to check whether a transaction with
the given tid has already committed, it holds j_state_lock in read mode
and check the tid of current running transaction and committing
transaction, but holding the j_state_lock is expensive.
We have already stored the sequence number of the most recently
committed transaction in journal t->j_commit_sequence, we could do this
check by comparing it with the given tid instead. If the given tid isn't
smaller than j_commit_sequence, we can ensure that the given transaction
has been committed. That way we could drop the expensive lock and
achieve about 10% ~ 20% performance gains in concurrent DIOs on may
virtual machine with 100G ramdisk.

However, if inode's address_space has no pages which taged with PAGECACHE_TAG_WRITEBACK,
will not call cond_resched(). So may lead to soft lockup.

Current jbd2 only add REQ_SYNC for descriptor block, metadata log
buffer, commit buffer and superblock buffer, the submitted IO could be
throttled by writeback throttle in block layer, that could lead to
priority inversion in some cases. The log IO looks like a kind of high
priority metadata IO, so it should not be throttled by WBT like QOS
policies in block layer, let's add REQ_SYNC | REQ_IDLE to exempt from
writeback throttle, and also add REQ_META together indicates it's a
metadata IO.
