Subject: [PATCH v2] Adding support to freeze and unfreeze a journal
On freezing the F.S, the journal should be frozen as well. This implies not
being able to start any new transactions on a frozen journal. Similarly,
thawing a F.S should thaw a journal and this should conversely start accepting
new transactions. While the F.S is frozen any request to start a new
handle should end up on a wait queue till the F.S is thawed back again.
Adding support to freeze and thaw a journal and leveraging this support in
freezing and thawing ext4.
Signed-off-by: Surbhi Palande <surbhi.palande@...onical.com>

Changes since v1:
* Check for the j_flag and if frozen release the j_state_lock before sleeping
on wait queue
* Export the freeze, thaw routines
* Added a barrier after setting the j_flags = JBD2_FROZEN
