The __log_wait_for_space function sits in a loop checkpointing
transactions until there is sufficient space free in the journal.
However, if there are no transactions to be processed (e.g.  because the
free space calculation is wrong due to a corrupted filesystem) it will
never progress.

Check for space being required when no transactions are outstanding and
abort the journal instead of endlessly looping.

__try_to_free_cp_buf(), __process_buffer(), and __wait_cp_io() test
BH_Uptodate flag to detect write I/O errors on metadata buffers.  But by
commit 95450f5a "ext3: don't read inode
block if the buffer has a write error"(*), BH_Uptodate flag can be set to
inode buffers with BH_Write_EIO in order to avoid reading old inode data.
So now, we have to test BH_Write_EIO flag of checkpointing inode buffers
instead of BH_Uptodate.  This patch does it.

When a checkpointing IO fails, current JBD code doesn't check the error
and continue journaling.  This means latest metadata can be lost from both
the journal and filesystem.

This patch leaves the failed metadata blocks in the journal space and
aborts journaling in the case of log_do_checkpoint().  To achieve this, we
need to do:

1. don't remove the failed buffer from the checkpoint list where in
   the case of __try_to_free_cp_buf() because it may be released or
   overwritten by a later transaction
2. log_do_checkpoint() is the last chance, remove the failed buffer
   from the checkpoint list and abort the journal
3. when checkpointing fails, don't update the journal super block to
   prevent the journaled contents from being cleaned.  For safety,
   don't update j_tail and j_tail_sequence either
4. when checkpointing fails, notify this error to the ext3 layer so
   that ext3 don't clear the needs_recovery flag, otherwise the
   journaled contents are ignored and cleaned in the recovery phase
5. if the recovery fails, keep the needs_recovery flag
6. prevent cleanup_journal_tail() from being called between
   __journal_drop_transaction() and journal_abort() (a race issue
   between journal_flush() and __log_wait_for_space()

The break_lock data structure and code for spinlocks is quite nasty.
Not only does it double the size of a spinlock but it changes locking to
a potentially less optimal trylock.

Put all of that under CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, and introduce a
__raw_spin_is_contended that uses the lock data itself to determine whether
there are waiters on the lock, to be used if CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK is
not set.

Rename need_lockbreak to spin_needbreak, make it use spin_is_contended to
decouple it from the spinlock implementation, and make it typesafe (rwlocks
do not have any need_lockbreak sites -- why do they even get bloated up
with that break_lock then?).

Before we start committing a transaction, we call
__journal_clean_checkpoint_list() to cleanup transaction's written-back
buffers.

If this call happens to remove all of them (and there were already some
buffers), __journal_remove_checkpoint() will decide to free the transaction
because it isn't (yet) a committing transaction and soon we fail some
assertion - the transaction really isn't ready to be freed :).

We change the check in __journal_remove_checkpoint() to free only a
transaction in T_FINISHED state.  The locking there is subtle though (as
everywhere in JBD ;().  We use j_list_lock to protect the check and a
subsequent call to __journal_drop_transaction() and do the same in the end
of journal_commit_transaction() which is the only place where a transaction
can get to T_FINISHED state.

Probably I'm too paranoid here and such locking is not really necessary -
checkpoint lists are processed only from log_do_checkpoint() where a
transaction must be already committed to be processed or from
__journal_clean_checkpoint_list() where kjournald itself calls it and thus
transaction cannot change state either.  Better be safe if something
changes in future...

Split the checkpoint list of the transaction into two lists.  In the first
list we keep the buffers that need to be submitted for IO.  In the second
list are kept buffers that were already submitted and we just have to wait
for the IO to complete.  This should simplify a handling of checkpoint
lists a bit and can eventually be also a performance gain.

This patch reverts commit f93ea411:
  [PATCH] jbd: split checkpoint lists

This broke journal_flush() for OCFS2, which is its method of being sure
that metadata is sent to disk for another node.

And two related commits 8d3c7fce and
43c3e6f5 with the subjects:
  [PATCH] jbd: log_do_checkpoint fix
  [PATCH] jbd: remove_transaction fix

These seem to be incremental bugfixes on the original patch and as such are
no longer needed.

Fix a bug in list scanning that can cause us to skip the last buffer on the
checkpoint list (and hence fail to do any progress under some rather
unfavorable conditions).

The problem is we first do jh=next_jh and then test

	} while (jh!=last_jh);

Hence we skip the last buffer on the list (if it was not the only buffer on
the list).  As we already do jh=next_jh; in the beginning of the loop we
are safe to just remove the assignment in the end.  It can happen that 'jh'
will be freed at the point we test jh != last_jh but that does not matter
as we never *dereference* the pointer.

Fix possible false assertion failure in log_do_checkpoint().  We might fail
to detect that we actually made a progress when cleaning up the checkpoint
lists if we don't retry after writing something to disk.  The patch was
confirmed to fix observed assertion failures for several users.

When we flushed some buffers we need to retry scanning the list.
Otherwise we can fail to detect our progress.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
