      jbd2: don't give up looking for space so easily in __jbd2_log_wait_for_space · 8c3f25d8
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      Commit 23f8b79e introducd a regression because it assumed that if
      there were no transactions ready to be checkpointed, that no progress
      could be made on making space available in the journal, and so the
      journal should be aborted.  This assumption is false; it could be the
      case that simply calling jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() will recover the
      necessary space, or, for small journals, the currently committing
      transaction could be responsible for chewing up the required space in
      the log, so we need to wait for the currently committing transaction
      to finish before trying to force a checkpoint operation.
