You may be able to use "set scope <text-addr>" using a text address from the jbd2 module that would "see" the relevant structure: crash> help set NAME set - set a process context or internal crash variable SYNOPSIS set [[-a] [pid | taskp] | [-c cpu] | -p] | [crash_variable [setting]] | -v ... [ cut ] ... This command may also be used to set internal crash variables. If no value argument is entered, the current value of the crash variable is shown. These are the crash variables, acceptable arguments, and purpose: ... [ cut ] ... scope text-addr sets the text scope for viewing the definition of data structures; the "text-addr" argument must be a kernel or module text address, which may be expressed symbolically or as a hexadecimal value. It sets the internal gdb block scope based upon the text address, but I can't guarantee that it will always work.
