From: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@xxxxxxxxxx>

v2->v3:
 - Fix the potential overflow on journal space check in patch 7.
 - Rename ext4_get_journal_dev() to ext4_get_journal_blkdev() in patch 11.
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'.

Yi.
