The h_cowing flag is used by ext4 snapshots code to mark the task in COWING state. The h_XXX_credits fields are used to track buffer credits usage (accounted by COW and non-COW operations). The h_cow_XXX fields are used as per task debugging counters. Merging this patch to kernel 2.6.39, will allow users to test ext4 snapshots as a standalone module (with debug counters enabled), without the need to patch and install a development kernel. With CONFIG_JBD2_DEBUG not defined, this patch doesn't change the size of the struct. With CONFIG_JBD2_DEBUG defined, the struct grows by 7 int fields, but since CONFIG_JBD2_DEBUG is mostly defined on development kernels, and since the size of objects associated with a task is much larger that 7 ints, that doesn't seem to be a big problem.
