Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 4/8] ext4: rework fast commit commit path
Date:   Thu, 21 Jul 2022 06:02:42 +0000

This patch reworks fast commit's commit path to remove locking the
journal for the entire duration of a fast commit. Instead, we only lock
the journal while marking all the eligible inodes as "committing". This
allows handles to make progress in parallel with the fast commit.
