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_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.
