[PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 044/211] jbd2: fix checkpoint list cleanup

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Tue Jan 05 2016 - 15:41:12 EST


4.2.8-ckt1 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxxx>

commit 33d14975e5ac469963d5d63856b61698ad0bff07 upstream.

Unlike comments and expectation of callers journal_clean_one_cp_list()
returned 1 not only if it freed the transaction but also if it freed
some buffers in the transaction. That could make
__jbd2_journal_clean_checkpoint_list() skip processing
t_checkpoint_io_list and continue with processing the next transaction.
This is mostly a cosmetic issue since the only result is we can
sometimes free less memory than we could. But it's still worth fixing.
Fix journal_clean_one_cp_list() to return 1 only if the transaction was
really freed.
