2.6.28-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: "Theodore Ts'o" (cherry picked from commit fd98496f467b3d26d05ab1498f41718b5ef13de5) Xen doesn't report that barriers are not supported until buffer I/O is reported as completed, instead of when the buffer I/O is submitted. Add a check and a fallback codepath to journal_wait_on_commit_record() to detect this case, so that attempts to mount ext4 filesystems on LVM/devicemapper devices on Xen guests don't blow up with an "Aborting journal on device XXX"; "Remounting filesystem read-only" error. Thanks to Andreas Sundstrom for reporting this issue.
