H A Djournal-head.hdiff 464170647b5648bb81f3615567485fcb9a685bed Fri Aug 09 14:42:32 CEST 2019 Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> jbd2: Make state lock a spinlock

Bit-spinlocks are problematic on PREEMPT_RT if functions which might sleep
on RT, e.g. spin_lock(), alloc/free(), are invoked inside the lock held
region because bit spinlocks disable preemption even on RT.

A first attempt was to replace state lock with a spinlock placed in struct
buffer_head and make the locking conditional on PREEMPT_RT and
DEBUG_BIT_SPINLOCKS.

Jan pointed out that there is a 4 byte hole in struct journal_head where a
regular spinlock fits in and he would not object to convert the state lock
to a spinlock unconditionally.

Aside of solving the RT problem, this also gains lockdep coverage for the
journal head state lock (bit-spinlocks are not covered by lockdep as it's
hard to fit a lockdep map into a single bit).

The trivial change would have been to convert the jbd_*lock_bh_state()
inlines, but that comes with the downside that these functions take a
buffer head pointer which needs to be converted to a journal head pointer
which adds another level of indirection.

As almost all functions which use this lock have a journal head pointer
readily available, it makes more sense to remove the lock helper inlines
and write out spin_*lock() at all call sites.

Fixup all locking comments as well.
