3.19.8-ckt11 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxxx> commit 33d14975e5ac469963d5d63856b61698ad0bff07 upstream. Unlike comments and expectation of callers journal_clean_one_cp_list() returned 1 not only if it freed the transaction but also if it freed some buffers in the transaction. That could make __jbd2_journal_clean_checkpoint_list() skip processing t_checkpoint_io_list and continue with processing the next transaction. This is mostly a cosmetic issue since the only result is we can sometimes free less memory than we could. But it's still worth fixing. Fix journal_clean_one_cp_list() to return 1 only if the transaction was really freed.
