MEMBERS

j_flags
    General journaling state flags

j_errno
    Is there an outstanding uncleared error on the journal (from a prior abort)?

j_sb_buffer
    First part of superblock buffer

j_superblock
    Second part of superblock buffer

j_format_version
    Version of the superblock format

j_state_lock
    Protect the various scalars in the journal

j_barrier_count
    Number of processes waiting to create a barrier lock

j_running_transaction
    The current running transaction..

j_committing_transaction
    the transaction we are pushing to disk

j_checkpoint_transactions
    a linked circular list of all transactions waiting for checkpointing

j_wait_transaction_locked
    Wait queue for waiting for a locked transaction to start committing, or for a barrier lock to be released

j_wait_logspace
    Wait queue for waiting for checkpointing to complete

j_wait_done_commit
    Wait queue for waiting for commit to complete

j_wait_checkpoint
    Wait queue to trigger checkpointing

j_wait_commit
    Wait queue to trigger commit

j_wait_updates
    Wait queue to wait for updates to complete

j_checkpoint_mutex
    Mutex for locking against concurrent checkpoints

j_head
    Journal head - identifies the first unused block in the journal

j_tail
    Journal tail - identifies the oldest still-used block in the journal.

j_free
    Journal free - how many free blocks are there in the journal?

j_first
    The block number of the first usable block

j_last
    The block number one beyond the last usable block

j_dev
    Device where we store the journal

j_blocksize
    blocksize for the location where we store the journal.

j_blk_offset
    starting block offset for into the device where we store the journal

j_fs_dev
    Device which holds the client fs. For internal journal this will be equal to j_dev

j_maxlen
    Total maximum capacity of the journal region on disk.

j_list_lock
    Protects the buffer lists and internal buffer state.

j_inode
    Optional inode where we store the journal. If present, all journal block numbers are mapped into this inode via bmap.

j_tail_sequence
    Sequence number of the oldest transaction in the log

j_transaction_sequence
    Sequence number of the next transaction to grant

j_commit_sequence
    Sequence number of the most recently committed transaction

j_commit_request
    Sequence number of the most recent transaction wanting commit

j_commit_waited
    Sequence number of the most recent transaction someone is waiting for to commit.

j_uuid[16]
    Uuid of client object.

j_task
    Pointer to the current commit thread for this journal

j_max_transaction_buffers
    Maximum number of metadata buffers to allow in a single compound commit transaction

j_commit_interval
    What is the maximum transaction lifetime before we begin a commit?

j_commit_timer
    The timer used to wakeup the commit thread

j_revoke_lock
    Protect the revoke table

j_revoke
    The revoke table - maintains the list of revoked blocks in the current transaction.

j_revoke_table[2]
    alternate revoke tables for j_revoke

j_wbuf
    array of buffer_heads for journal_commit_transaction

j_wbufsize
    maximum number of buffer_heads allowed in j_wbuf, the number that will fit in j_blocksize

j_last_sync_writer
    most recent pid which did a synchronous write

j_average_commit_time
    the average amount of time in nanoseconds it takes to commit a transaction to the disk.

j_private
    An opaque pointer to fs-private information.
