ext3's fully data-journalled mode has been broken for a year. This patch fixes it up. The prepare_write/commit_write/writepage implementations have been split up. Instead of having each function handle all three journalling mode we now have three separate sets of address_space_operations. The problematic part of data=journal is MAP_SHARED writepage traffic: pages which don't have buffers. In 2.4 these were cheatingly treated as data-ordered buffers and that caused several nasty problems. Here we do it properly: writepage traffic is fully journalled. This means that the various workarounds for the 2.4 scheme can be removed, when I remember where they all are. The PG_checked flag has been borrowed: it it set in the atomic set_page_dirty a_op to tell the subsequent writepage() that this page needs to have buffers attached, dirtied and journalled. This rather defines PG_checked as "fs-private info in page->flags" and it should be renamed sometime.
