Tahsin Erdogan 30a7eb970c 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.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
