We can hold j_state_lock for writing at the beginning of
jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() for a rather long time (reportedly for
30 ms) due cleaning revoke bits of all revoked buffers under it. The
handling of revoke tables as well as cleaning of t_reserved_list, and
checkpoint lists does not need j_state_lock for anything. It is only
needed to prevent new handles from joining the transaction. Generally
T_LOCKED transaction state prevents new handles from joining the
transaction - except for reserved handles which have to allowed to join
while we wait for other handles to complete.
To prevent reserved handles from joining the transaction while cleaning
up lists, add new transaction state T_SWITCH and watch for it when
starting reserved handles. With this we can just drop the lock for
operations that don't need it.

The ramoops backend currently calls persistent_ram_save_old() even

that. It also prevents misleading prints in the logs which claim the
buffer is valid.
I got something like:

no valid data in buffer (sig = ...)

(1) remove type argument from ramoops_get_next_prz()
Since we store the type of the prz when we initialize it, we no longer
need to pass it again in ramoops_get_next_prz() since we can just use
that to setup the pstore record. So lets remove it from the argument list.
(2) remove max argument from ramoops_get_next_prz()
Looking at the code flow, the 'max' checks are already being done on
the prz passed to ramoops_get_next_prz(). Lets remove it to simplify
this function and reduce its arguments.
(3) further reduce ramoops_get_next_prz() arguments by passing record
Both the id and type fields of a pstore_record are set by
ramoops_get_next_prz(). So we can just pass a pointer to the pstore_record
instead of passing individual elements. This results in cleaner more
readable code and fewer lines.
In addition lets also remove the 'update' argument since we can detect
that. Changes are squashed into a single patch to reduce fixup conflicts.

In later patches we will need to map types to names, so create a
constant table for that which can also be used in different parts of
old and new code. This saves the type in the PRZ which will be useful
in later patches.
Instead of having an explicit PSTORE_TYPE_UNKNOWN, just use ..._MAX.
This includes removing the now redundant filename templates which can use
a single format string. Also, there's no reason to limit the "is it still
compressed?" test to only PSTORE_TYPE_DMESG when building the pstorefs
filename. Records are zero-initialized, so a backend would need to have
explicitly set compressed=1.

Currently, a lock can block pending requests, but all pending
requests are equal. If lots of pending requests are
mutually exclusive, this means they will all be woken up
and all but one will fail. This can hurt performance.
So we will allow pending requests to block other requests.
Only the first request will be woken, and it will wake the others.
This patch doesn't implement this fully, but prepares the way.
- It acknowledges that a request might be blocking other requests,
and when the request is converted to a lock, those blocked
requests are moved across.
- When a request is requeued or discarded, all blocked requests are
woken.
- When deadlock-detection looks for the lock which blocks a
given request, we follow the chain of ->fl_blocker all
the way to the top.

At this time, ->backing_objects was empty, which would normaly prevent

When an object is "killed" and then "dropped",
FSCACHE_COOKIE_LOOKING_UP is cleared in fscache_lookup_failure(), then
KILL_OBJECT and DROP_OBJECT are "called" and only in DROP_OBJECT is
->backing_objects cleared. This leaves a window where
something else can set FSCACHE_COOKIE_LOOKING_UP and
__fscache_read_or_alloc_page() can start waiting, before
->backing_objects is cleared
There is some uncertainty in this analysis, but it seems to be fit the
observations. Adding the wake in this patch will be handled correctly
by __fscache_read_or_alloc_page(), as it checks if ->backing_objects
is empty again, after waiting.
Customer which reported the hang, also report that the hang cannot be
reproduced with this fix.
