Subject: [PATCH 12/29] jbd2: Transaction reservation support
In some cases we cannot start a transaction because of locking constraints and
passing started transaction into those places is not handy either because we
could block transaction commit for too long. Transaction reservation is
designed to solve these issues. It reserves a handle with given number of
credits in the journal and the handle can be later attached to the running
transaction without blocking on commit or checkpointing. Reserved handles do
not block transaction commit in any way, they only reduce maximum size of the
running transaction (because we have to always be prepared to accomodate
request for attaching reserved handle).
