SubjectRe: jbd2: don't wake kjournald unnecessarily
From
Hi,

I and some others hit a similiar problem in Linux-Next
(next-20130118), please see [1] and [2].

[3] has a interim analyze of my problems.

After suspecting the problem was caused by TTY-NEXT, it turned out to
be a JBD2 problem finally.
The freezer/pm_test was helpful to hit the issue (Thanks Rafael for the hint!).

So, the issue has two faces: TTY and JBD2.
[4] gives a list and URLs of the patches I had to apply to have a
clean system again.

After applying the two TTY patches (without Eric's JBD2-fix!) the
call-trace after freezer/pm_test looked like this;

[ 433.527986] PM: Syncing filesystems ... done.

After applying Eric's patch [5], I could not hit the call-trace again.
NOTE: The patch is from December 2012 and is not shipped in latest Linux-Next.

The attached testcase script was helpful to force the call-trace.
I have run 50 loops of it w/o an issue!

Feel free to add a Reported-by/Tested-by.
( The issue kept me busy for the last days. )
