The multiblock allocator needs to be able to release blocks (and issue
a blkdev discard request) when the transaction which freed those
blocks is committed. Previously this was done via a polling mechanism
when blocks are allocated or freed. A much better way of doing things
is to create a jbd2 callback function and attaching the list of blocks
to be freed directly to the transaction structure.

If the journal doesn't abort when it gets an IO error in file data
blocks, the file data corruption will spread silently. Because
most of applications and commands do buffered writes without fsync(),
they don't notice the IO error. It's scary for mission critical
systems. On the other hand, if the journal aborts whenever it gets
an IO error in file data blocks, the system will easily become
inoperable. So this patch introduces a filesystem option to
determine whether it aborts the journal or just call printk() when
it gets an IO error in file data.
If you mount an ext4 fs with data_err=abort option, it aborts on file
data write error. If you mount it with data_err=ignore, it doesn't
abort, just call printk(). data_err=ignore is the default.
Here is the corresponding patch of the ext3 version:

When a checkpointing IO fails, current JBD2 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 jbd2_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. jbd2_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 ext4 layer so
that ext4 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 jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() from being called between
__jbd2_journal_drop_transaction() and jbd2_journal_abort()
(a possible race issue between jbd2_log_do_checkpoint()s called by
jbd2_journal_flush() and __jbd2_log_wait_for_space())

Calculate the journal device name once and stash it away in the
journal_s structure. This avoids needing to call bdevname()
everywhere and reduces stack usage by not needing to allocate an
on-stack buffer. In addition, we eliminate the '/' that can appear in
device names (e.g. "cciss/c0d0p9" --- see kernel bugzilla #11321) that
can cause problems when creating proc directory names, and include the
inode number to support ocfs2 which creates multiple journals with
different inode numbers.

This patch adds necessary framework into JBD2 to be able to track inodes
with each transaction and write-out their dirty data during transaction
commit time.
This new ordered mode brings all sorts of advantages such as possibility
to get rid of journal heads and buffer heads for data buffers in ordered
mode, better ordering of writes on transaction commit, simplification of
some JBD code, no more anonymous pages when truncate of data being
committed happens. Also with this new ordered mode, delayed allocation
on ordered mode is much simpler.

If a journal checksum error is detected, the ext4 filesystem will call
ext4_error(), and the mount will either continue, become a read-only
mount, or cause a kernel panic based on the superblock flags
indicating the user's preference of what to do in case of filesystem
corruption being detected.

The journal checksum feature adds two new flags i.e
JBD2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_ASYNC_COMMIT and JBD2_FEATURE_COMPAT_CHECKSUM.
JBD2_FEATURE_CHECKSUM flag indicates that the commit block contains the
checksum for the blocks described by the descriptor blocks.
Due to checksums, writing of the commit record no longer needs to be
synchronous. Now commit record can be sent to disk without waiting for
descriptor blocks to be written to disk. This behavior is controlled
using JBD2_FEATURE_ASYNC_COMMIT flag. Older kernels/e2fsck should not be
able to recover the journal with _ASYNC_COMMIT hence it is made
incompat.
The commit header has been extended to hold the checksum along with the
type of the checksum.
For recovery in pass scan checksums are verified to ensure the sanity
and completeness(in case of _ASYNC_COMMIT) of every transaction.

The patch below updates the jbd stats patch to 2.6.20/jbd2.
The initial patch was posted by Alex Tomas in December 2005
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-ext4&m=113538565128617&w=2).
It provides statistics via procfs such as transaction lifetime and size.
Sometimes, investigating performance problems, i find useful to have
stats from jbd about transaction's lifetime, size, etc. here is a
patch for review and inclusion probably.
for example, stats after creation of 3M files in htree directory:

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...
