Can we confirm what is being proposed? From following this thread, I think what folks are suggesting is:
1) Revert the current "ext3/4: wait on all pending ocmmits in ext3/4_sync_fs"
2) Apply Jan's patch "jbd[2]: Fix return value of journal_start_commit()"
3) Also apply Jan's patch "jbd2: Skip commit of a transaction without any buffers" since it appears to be a good optimization (although it's not clear it would happen once we revert (1), above.
