    jbd2: Reserve space for revoke descriptor blocks · fdc3ef88
    Jan Kara authored
    Extend functions for starting, extending, and restarting transaction
    handles to take number of revoke records handle must be able to
    accommodate. These functions then make sure transaction has enough
    credits to be able to store resulting revoke descriptor blocks. Also
    revoke code tracks number of revoke records created by a handle to catch
    situation where some place didn't reserve enough space for revoke
    records. Similarly to standard transaction credits, space for unused
    reserved revoke records is released when the handle is stopped.
    
    On the ext4 side we currently take a simplistic approach of reserving
    space for 1024 revoke records for any transaction. This grows amount of
    credits reserved for each handle only by a few and is enough for any
    normal workload so that we don't hit warnings in jbd2. We will refine
    the logic in following commits.
