Before this patch, when blocks were freed, it called gfs2_meta_wipe to take the metadata out of the pending journal blocks. It did this mostly by calling another function called gfs2_remove_from_journal. This is shortsighted because it does not do anything with jdata blocks which may also be in the journal. This patch expands the function so that it wipes out jdata blocks from the journal as well, and it wipes it from the ail1 list if it hasn't been written back yet. Since it now processes jdata blocks as well, the function has been renamed from gfs2_meta_wipe to gfs2_journal_wipe. New function gfs2_ail1_wipe wants a static view of the ail list, so it locks the sd_ail_lock when removing items. To accomplish this, function gfs2_remove_from_journal no longer locks the sd_ail_lock, and it's now the caller's responsibility to do so. I was going to make sd_ail_lock locking conditional, but the practice is generally frowned upon.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
