Commit ae4647fb (jbd2: reduce journal_head size) introduced a
regression where we occasionally hit panic in
jbd2_journal_put_journal_head() because of wrong b_jcount. The bug is
caused by gcc making 64-bit access to 32-bit bitfield and thus
clobbering b_jcount.
At least for now, those 8 bytes saved in struct journal_head are not
worth the trouble with gcc bitfield handling so revert that part of
the patch.

Remove unused t_cow_tid field (ext4 copy-on-write support doesn't seem
to be happening) and change b_modified and b_jlist to bitfields thus
saving 8 bytes in the structure.

All accesses to checkpointing entries in journal_head are protected
by j_list_lock. Thus __jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint() doesn't really
need bh_state lock.
Also the only part of journal head that the rest of checkpointing code
needs to check is jh->b_transaction which is safe to read under
j_list_lock.
So we can safely remove bh_state lock from all of checkpointing code which
makes it considerably prettier.

In the definition of struct journal_head, the comment for
the field "unsigned b_cow_tid" says the field tracks the
last transaction id in which this buffer has been cowed.
In the header part of file journal-head.h, it defines
typedef unsigned int tid_t;
We should use type tid_t to define transaction id fields.
Change the field "b_cow_tid" of struct journal_head from
type unsigned to tid_t.

The b_cow_tid field will be used by the ext4 snapshots code to store
the transaction id when the buffer was last cowed.
Merging this patch to mainline will allow users to test ext4 snapshots
as a standalone module, without the need to patch and install a
development kernel.
On 64bit machines this field uses fills in a padding "hole" and does
not increase the size of the struct. On a 32bit machine this patch
increases the size of the struct from 60 to 64 bytes.

Filesystems often to do compute intensive operation on some
metadata. If this operation is repeated many times, it can be very
expensive. It would be much nicer if the operation could be performed
once before a buffer goes to disk.
This adds triggers to jbd2 buffer heads. Just before writing a metadata
buffer to the journal, jbd2 will optionally call a commit trigger associated
with the buffer. If the journal is aborted, an abort trigger will be
called on any dirty buffers as they are dropped from pending
transactions.
ocfs2 will use this feature.
Initially I tried to come up with a more generic trigger that could be
used for non-buffer-related events like transaction completion. It
doesn't tie nicely, because the information a buffer trigger needs
(specific to a journal_head) isn't the same as what a transaction
trigger needs (specific to a tranaction_t or perhaps journal_t). So I
implemented a buffer set, with the understanding that
journal/transaction wide triggers should be implemented separately.
There is only one trigger set allowed per buffer. I can't think of any
reason to attach more than one set. Contrast this with a journal or
transaction in which multiple places may want to watch the entire
transaction separately.
The trigger sets are considered static allocation from the jbd2
perspective. ocfs2 will just have one trigger set per block type,
setting the same set on every bh of the same type.

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!
