Subject: confused by delayed allocation and ordered journal

Hi all,

I found that if a block'allocation is delayed, and is not allocated
when journal flushes it, then journal just redirties it and return in
journal_submit_data_buffers.

If I understand right, how to guarantee that the journal mode is ordered?

Thanks,
Yongqiang.
