    jbd2: limit number of reserved credits · 6d3ec14d
    Lukas Czerner authored
    Currently there is no limitation on number of reserved credits we can
    ask for. If we ask for more reserved credits than 1/2 of maximum
    transaction size, or if total number of credits exceeds the maximum
    transaction size per operation (which is currently only possible with
    the former) we will spin forever in start_this_handle().
    
    Fix this by adding this limitation at the start of start_this_handle().
    
    This patch also removes the credit limitation 1/2 of maximum transaction
    size, since we really only want to limit the number of reserved credits.
    There is not much point to limit the credits if there is still space in
    the journal.
    
    This accidentally also fixes the online resize, where due to the
    limitation of the journal credits we're unable to grow file systems with
    1k block size and size between 16M and 32M. It has been partially fixed
    by 2c869b26
    
    , but not entirely.
    
    Thanks Jan Kara for helping me getting the correct fix.
