Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] ext4: fix fast commit inode enqueueing during a full journal commit

Hi!

Here's v3 of this fix to the fast commit enqueuing bug triggered by fstest
generic/047. This version simplifies the previous patch version by re-using
the i_sync_tid field in struct ext4_inode_info instead of adding a new one.

The extra patch includes a few extra fixes to the tid_t type handling. Jan
brought to my attention the fact that this sequence number may wrap, and I
quickly found a few places in the code where the tid_geq() and tid_gt()
helpers had to be used.

Again, please note that this fix requires [1] to be applied too.

Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] ext4: fix fast commit inode enqueueing during a full journal commit

When a full journal commit is on-going, any fast commit has to be enqueued
into a different queue: FC_Q_STAGING instead of FC_Q_MAIN. This enqueueing
is done only once, i.e. if an inode is already queued in a previous fast
commit entry it won't be enqueued again. However, if a full commit starts
_after_ the inode is enqueued into FC_Q_MAIN, the next fast commit needs to
be done into FC_Q_STAGING. And this is not being done in function
ext4_fc_track_template().

This patch fixes the issue by re-enqueuing an inode into the STAGING queue
during the fast commit clean-up callback if it has a tid (i_sync_tid)
greater than the one being handled. The STAGING queue will then be spliced
back into MAIN.

This bug was found using fstest generic/047. This test creates several 32k
bytes files, sync'ing each of them after it's creation, and then shutting
down the filesystem. Some data may be loss in this operation; for example a
file may have it's size truncated to zero.
