ext4: cleanup transaction restarts during inode deletion
During inode deletion, the number of journal credits that will be needed is hard to determine. For that reason we have journal extend/restart calls in several places. Whenever a transaction is restarted, filesystem must be in a consistent state because there is no atomicity guarantee beyond a restart call. Add ext4_xattr_ensure_credits() helper function which takes care of journal extend/restart logic. It also handles getting jbd2 write access and dirty metadata calls. This function is called at every iteration of handling an ea_inode reference. Signed-off-by: Tahsin Erdogan <tahsin@google.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
