It seems that ext4 has no such events.
I find jbd2_dev_to_name() in the TP_printk() field of ext4's tracepoints.
And it seems that jbd2_dev_to_name() requires preemption enabled and sleepable.

Maybe there were some events did things that required preemption disabled.
But No document ensure TP_printk() preemption disabled, such events should
be fixed, I think.
