Thanks, applied.  I adjusted the commit description slightly:

    If EIO happens after we have dropped j_state_lock, we won't notice
    that the journal has been aborted.  So it is reasonable to move this
    check after we have grabbed the j_checkpoint_mutex and re-grabbed the
    j_state_lock.  This patch helps to prevent false positive complain
    after EIO.

Cheers,

P.S.  Welcome back!  Glad to see you are safe.
