From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> commit add3efdd78b8a0478ce423bb9d4df6bd95e8b335 upstream. When number of free space in the journal is very low, the arithmetic in jbd2_log_space_left() could underflow resulting in very high number of free blocks and thus triggering assertion failure in transaction commit code complaining there's not enough space in the journal: J_ASSERT(journal->j_free > 1); Properly check for the low number of free blocks.
