Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/2] ext4, jbd2: journal cycled record transactions

From: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@...wei.com>

Hello, This patch set introduce a new mount option names
journal_cycle_record, it save journal head for a clean unmounted file
system, let ext4 continue/cycled record new journal transactions after
previous mount or recovered transactions for unclean file system. It
could give us more info when analysing a corrupted file system image
and locate kernel consistency bugs more conveniently.

This is just the kernel part and have already passed throuth xfstests in
auto mode. I will continue the e2fsprogs' part if nobody strong dislike
that. Any comments are welcome.

Thanks,
Yi.
