Patch 1-3: fix a potential filesystem inconsistency problem. Patch 4-8: add a shrinker to release journal_head and remove bdev_try_to_free_page() callback, and also do some cleanup. Changes since v2: - Fix some comments and spelling mistakes on patch 2 and 3. - Give up the solution of add refcount on super_block and fix the use-after-free issue in bdev_try_to_free_page(), switch to introduce a shrinker to free checkpoint buffers' journal_head and remove the whole callback at all. Thanks, Yi. --------- Changes since v1: - Do not use j_checkpoint_mutex to fix the filesystem inconsistency problem, introduce a new mark instead. - Fix superblock use-after-free issue in blkdev_releasepage(). - Avoid race between bdev_try_to_free_page() and ext4_put_super().
