<content type='text'>
The iput() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then
returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

<title>fs, jbd: use a more generic hash function</title>

While the hash function used by the revoke hashtable is good somewhere else,
it's not really good here.

The default hash shift (8) means that one third of the hashing function
gets lost (and is undefined anyways (8 - 12 = negative shift)):

	"(block &lt;&lt; (hash_shift - 12))) &amp; (table-&gt;hash_size - 1)"

Instead, just use the kernel's generic hash function that gets used everywhere
else.

<content type='text'>
Some of KERN_EMERG printk messages do not really deserve this log level
and the one in log_wait_commit() is even rather useless (the journal has
been previously aborted and *that* is where we should have been
complaining). So make some messages just KERN_ERR and remove the useless
message.

This reverts commit 05713082ab7690a2b22b044cfc867f346c39cd2d. The idea
to remove __GFP_NOFAIL was opposed by Andrew Morton. Although mm guys do
want to get rid of __GFP_NOFAIL users, opencoding the allocation retry
is even worse.

Backport of jbd2 commit 169f1a2a87aae44034da4b9f81be1683d33de6d0
("jbd2: use a single printk for jbd_debug()")

Since the jbd_debug() is implemented with two separate printk()
calls, it can lead to corrupted and misleading debug output like
the following (see lines marked with "*"):

[  290.339362] (fs/jbd2/journal.c, 203): kjournald2: kjournald2 wakes
[  290.339365] (fs/jbd2/journal.c, 155): kjournald2: commit_sequence=42103, commit_request=42104
[  290.339369] (fs/jbd2/journal.c, 158): kjournald2: OK, requests differ
[* 290.339376] (fs/jbd2/journal.c, 648): jbd2_log_wait_commit:
[* 290.339379] (fs/jbd2/commit.c, 370): jbd2_journal_commit_transaction: JBD2: want 42104, j_commit_sequence=42103
[* 290.339382] JBD2: starting commit of transaction 42104
[  290.339410] (fs/jbd2/revoke.c, 566): jbd2_journal_write_revoke_records: Wrote 0 revoke records
[  290.376555] (fs/jbd2/commit.c, 1088): jbd2_journal_commit_transaction: JBD2: commit 42104 complete, head 42079

i.e. the debug output from log_wait_commit and journal_commit_transaction
have become interleaved.  The output should have been:

(fs/jbd2/journal.c, 648): jbd2_log_wait_commit: JBD2: want 42104, j_commit_sequence=42103
(fs/jbd2/commit.c, 370): jbd2_journal_commit_transaction: JBD2: starting commit of transaction 42104

It is expected that this is not easy to replicate -- I was only able
to cause it on preempt-rt kernels, and even then only under heavy
I/O load.

The state lock is taken after we are doing an assert on the state
value, not before.  So we might in fact be doing an assert on a
transient value.  Ensure the state check is within the scope of
the state lock being taken.
