Subject: [PATCH 6/6] jbd2: No need to use t_handle_lock in jbd2_journal_wait_updates
Date:   Thu, 13 Jan 2022 08:56:29 +0530
Message-Id: <e7e0f8c54306591a3a9c8fead1e0e54358052ab6.1642044249.git.riteshh@linux.ibm.com>

Since jbd2_journal_wait_updates() uses waitq based on t_updates atomic_t
variable. So from code review it looks like we don't need to use
t_handle_lock spinlock for checking t_updates value.
Hence this patch gets rid of the spinlock protection in
jbd2_journal_wait_updates()
