-The journalling layer is easy to use. You need to
-first of all create a journal_t data structure. There are
-two calls to do this dependent on how you decide to allocate the physical
-media on which the journal resides. The jbd2_journal_init_inode() call
-is for journals stored in filesystem inodes, or the jbd2_journal_init_dev()
-call can be used for journal stored on a raw device (in a continuous range
-of blocks). A journal_t is a typedef for a struct pointer, so when
-you are finally finished make sure you call jbd2_journal_destroy() on it
-to free up any used kernel memory.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Once you have got your journal_t object you need to 'mount' or load the journal
-file. The journalling layer expects the space for the journal was already
-allocated and initialized properly by the userspace tools. When loading the
-journal you must call jbd2_journal_load() to process journal contents. If the
-client file system detects the journal contents does not need to be processed
-(or even need not have valid contents), it may call jbd2_journal_wipe() to
-clear the journal contents before calling jbd2_journal_load().
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Note that jbd2_journal_wipe(..,0) calls jbd2_journal_skip_recovery() for you if
-it detects any outstanding transactions in the journal and similarly
-jbd2_journal_load() will call jbd2_journal_recover() if necessary. I would
-advise reading ext4_load_journal() in fs/ext4/super.c for examples on this
-stage.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Now you can go ahead and start modifying the underlying
-filesystem. Almost.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-
-You still need to actually journal your filesystem changes, this
-is done by wrapping them into transactions. Additionally you
-also need to wrap the modification of each of the buffers
-with calls to the journal layer, so it knows what the modifications
-you are actually making are. To do this use jbd2_journal_start() which
-returns a transaction handle.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-jbd2_journal_start()
-and its counterpart jbd2_journal_stop(), which indicates the end of a
-transaction are nestable calls, so you can reenter a transaction if necessary,
-but remember you must call jbd2_journal_stop() the same number of times as
-jbd2_journal_start() before the transaction is completed (or more accurately
-leaves the update phase). Ext4/VFS makes use of this feature to simplify
-handling of inode dirtying, quota support, etc.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Inside each transaction you need to wrap the modifications to the
-individual buffers (blocks). Before you start to modify a buffer you
-need to call jbd2_journal_get_{create,write,undo}_access() as appropriate,
-this allows the journalling layer to copy the unmodified data if it
-needs to. After all the buffer may be part of a previously uncommitted
-transaction.
-At this point you are at last ready to modify a buffer, and once
-you are have done so you need to call jbd2_journal_dirty_{meta,}data().
-Or if you've asked for access to a buffer you now know is now longer
-required to be pushed back on the device you can call jbd2_journal_forget()
-in much the same way as you might have used bforget() in the past.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-A jbd2_journal_flush() may be called at any time to commit and checkpoint
-all your transactions.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Then at umount time , in your put_super() you can then call jbd2_journal_destroy()
-to clean up your in-core journal object.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Unfortunately there a couple of ways the journal layer can cause a deadlock.
-The first thing to note is that each task can only have
-a single outstanding transaction at any one time, remember nothing
-commits until the outermost jbd2_journal_stop(). This means
-you must complete the transaction at the end of each file/inode/address
-etc. operation you perform, so that the journalling system isn't re-entered
-on another journal. Since transactions can't be nested/batched
-across differing journals, and another filesystem other than
-yours (say ext4) may be modified in a later syscall.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-The second case to bear in mind is that jbd2_journal_start() can
-block if there isn't enough space in the journal for your transaction
-(based on the passed nblocks param) - when it blocks it merely(!) needs to
-wait for transactions to complete and be committed from other tasks,
-so essentially we are waiting for jbd2_journal_stop(). So to avoid
-deadlocks you must treat jbd2_journal_start/stop() as if they
-were semaphores and include them in your semaphore ordering rules to prevent
-deadlocks. Note that jbd2_journal_extend() has similar blocking behaviour to
-jbd2_journal_start() so you can deadlock here just as easily as on
-jbd2_journal_start().
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Try to reserve the right number of blocks the first time. ;-). This will
-be the maximum number of blocks you are going to touch in this transaction.
-I advise having a look at at least ext4_jbd.h to see the basis on which
-ext4 uses to make these decisions.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Another wriggle to watch out for is your on-disk block allocation strategy.
-Why? Because, if you do a delete, you need to ensure you haven't reused any
-of the freed blocks until the transaction freeing these blocks commits. If you
-reused these blocks and crash happens, there is no way to restore the contents
-of the reallocated blocks at the end of the last fully committed transaction.
-
-One simple way of doing this is to mark blocks as free in internal in-memory
-block allocation structures only after the transaction freeing them commits.
-Ext4 uses journal commit callback for this purpose.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-With journal commit callbacks you can ask the journalling layer to call a
-callback function when the transaction is finally committed to disk, so that
-you can do some of your own management. You ask the journalling layer for
-calling the callback by simply setting journal->j_commit_callback function
-pointer and that function is called after each transaction commit. You can also
-use transaction->t_private_list for attaching entries to a transaction that
-need processing when the transaction commits.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-JBD2 also provides a way to block all transaction updates via
-jbd2_journal_{un,}lock_updates(). Ext4 uses this when it wants a window with a
-clean and stable fs for a moment. E.g.
-</para>
-
-<programlisting>
-
- jbd2_journal_lock_updates() //stop new stuff happening..
- jbd2_journal_flush() // checkpoint everything.
- ..do stuff on stable fs
- jbd2_journal_unlock_updates() // carry on with filesystem use.
-</programlisting>
-
-<para>
-The opportunities for abuse and DOS attacks with this should be obvious,
-if you allow unprivileged userspace to trigger codepaths containing these
-calls.
