Subject: [PATCH 1/4] jbd: use module parameters instead of debugfs for jbd_debug
This is a direct backport of commit b6e96d0067d81f6a300bedee
("jbd2: use module parameters instead of debugfs for jbd_debug")
from jbd2 into jbd. The value is in making ext4 and ext3 user
experiences consistent with each other. Quoting the original:
--------------
There are multiple reasons to move away from debugfs. First of all,
we are only using it for a single parameter, and it is much more
complicated to set up (some 30 lines of code compared to 3), and one
more thing that might fail while loading the jbd2 module.
Secondly, as a module paramter it can be specified as a boot option if
jbd2 is built into the kernel, or as a parameter when the module is
loaded, and it can also be manipulated dynamically under
/sys/module/jbd2/parameters/jbd2_debug. So it is more flexible.
Ultimately we want to move away from using jbd_debug() towards
tracepoints, but for now this is still a useful simplification of the
code base.
--------------
It is worth noting that we use /sys/module/jbd/parameters/jbd1_debug
(i.e. the "1" might appear odd) for the module parameter in order to
avoid namespace collisions with the existing jbd_debug used as a
function call.
In addition, we combine the content of jbd2 commit 75497d0607b56e16e4
("jbd2: remove debug dependency on debug_fs and update Kconfig help text")
since they were only separate commits unintentionally in jbd2.
