Subject: [PATCH 00/12] ext4,jbd2: cleanup journal load and initialization process

From: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@...wei.com>

Hello,

This patch set cleanup the journal load and initialization process
(discussed and suggested by Ted in [1]). Firstly, move reading of the
journal superblock from jbd2_journal_load() and jbd2_journal_wipe()
early to journal_init_common(), and completely drop the kludgy call of
journal_get_superblock() in jbd2_journal_check_used_features(). Then
cleanup the ext4_get_journal() and ext4_get_dev_journal(), making their
initialization process and error handling process more clear, and return
proper errno if some bad happens. Finally rename those two functions to
jbd2_open_{dev,inode}_journal. This patch set has passed
'kvm-xfstests -g auto'.

Thanks,
Yi.
