Subject: [PATCH] Adding support to freeze and unfreeze a journal
The journal should be frozen when a F.S freezes. What this means is that till
the F.S is thawed again, no new transactions should be accepted by the
journal. When the F.S thaws, inturn it should thaw the journal and this should
allow the journal to resume accepting new transactions.
While the F.S has frozen the journal, the clients of journal on calling
jbd2_journal_start() will sleep on a wait queue. Thawing the journal will wake
up the sleeping clients and journalling can progress normally.
