[PATCH 5.4 040/255] jbd2: wake up journal waiters in FIFO order, not LIFO

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Oct 24 2022 - 08:56:02 EST


From: Andrew Perepechko <anserper@xxxxx>

commit 34fc8768ec6089565d6d73bad26724083cecf7bd upstream.

LIFO wakeup order is unfair and sometimes leads to a journal
user not being able to get a journal handle for hundreds of
transactions in a row.

FIFO wakeup can make things more fair.
