Opening brace goes on the next line, please.  Several instances.

Did all these functions need global scope?  Some do, but I didn't check
them all.

Those which cannot be made static should be given appropriate names,
such as jbd_get_descriptor().

Please pass the patches through scripts/checkpatch.pl and review the
result.

If this function is only ever called by a kernel thread then
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE is OK.

If this function can be called by a userspace process then
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE is buggy - a signal_pending() state will cause the
schedule() to fall straight through.

erk, what's happening here.

I can't find the blkdev_driver_ioctl() definition.  If I could, I'd be
asking if it can be refactored so we can call a regular kernel function
and avoid the nasty set_fs(), and do away with the nasty fake_inode.
