From: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@xxxxxxxxxx> v1->v2: - Fix the changelog in patch 1 and 2. - Simplify the comments for local functions in patch 6. - Remove the incorrect zero fast_commit blocks check in patch 7. - Fix a UAF problem in patch 11. Hello, This patch set cleanup the journal load and initialization process (discussed and suggested by Ted in [1]). Firstly, move reading of the journal superblock from jbd2_journal_load() and jbd2_journal_wipe() early to journal_init_common(), and completely drop the kludgy call of journal_get_superblock() in jbd2_journal_check_used_features(). Then cleanup the ext4_get_journal() and ext4_get_dev_journal(), making their initialization process and error handling process more clear, and return proper errno if some bad happens. Finally rename those two functions to jbd2_open_{dev,inode}_journal. This patch set has passed 'kvm-xfstests -g auto'.
