I've changed "level <" for "level >" here....

I'm so glad to see that I am not the only one who accidentally keeps
putting a comma after the KERN_<N> values. :)
I'd thought about using pr_debug() but decided not to, since it is a
no-op without us actually defining DEBUG somewhere, and if we don't,
then people would wonder where their debug output went, I think.

Since both ext3 and ext4 will suffer the same problem, I've made
a combined solution. It has passed a basic sanity test here, so
maybe if you have a spare moment, you could have a look to determine
if you are OK with the implementation, while I continue fixing up
the others and doing more testing?
Thanks,
Paul.

Subject: [PATCH] jbd/jbd2: make common jbd_debug that won't split printk
statements
Since the jbd_debug() is implemented with two separate printk()
calls, it can lead to corrupted and misleading debug output like
the following (see lines marked with "*"):
[ 290.339362] (fs/jbd2/journal.c, 203): kjournald2: kjournald2 wakes
[ 290.339365] (fs/jbd2/journal.c, 155): kjournald2: commit_sequence=42103, commit_request=42104
[ 290.339369] (fs/jbd2/journal.c, 158): kjournald2: OK, requests differ
[* 290.339376] (fs/jbd2/journal.c, 648): jbd2_log_wait_commit:
[* 290.339379] (fs/jbd2/commit.c, 370): jbd2_journal_commit_transaction: JBD2: want 42104, j_commit_sequence=42103
[* 290.339382] JBD2: starting commit of transaction 42104
[ 290.339410] (fs/jbd2/revoke.c, 566): jbd2_journal_write_revoke_records: Wrote 0 revoke records
[ 290.376555] (fs/jbd2/commit.c, 1088): jbd2_journal_commit_transaction: JBD2: commit 42104 complete, head 42079
i.e. the debug output from log_wait_commit and journal_commit_transaction
have become interleaved. The output should have been:
(fs/jbd2/journal.c, 648): jbd2_log_wait_commit: JBD2: want 42104, j_commit_sequence=42103
(fs/jbd2/commit.c, 370): jbd2_journal_commit_transaction: JBD2: starting commit of transaction 42104
It is expected that this is not easy to replicate -- I was only able
to cause it on preempt-rt kernels, and even then only under heavy
I/O load. Ted suggested we make use of va_args to reduce it to a single
printk() call to fix it.
This was originally seen on ext4, but since ext3 should suffer the same
problem, I've taken the next step to make the jbd_debug a shared
implementation, so to fix ext3 and reduce duplication at the same time.
