    [PATCH] ext3: Remove journal_try_start() · 2ac28750
    Andrew Morton authored
    journal_try_start() is a function which nonblockingly attempts to open a JBD
    transaction handle.  It was added a long time ago when there were concerns
    that ext3_writepage() could block kswapd for too long.
    
    It was never clearly necessary.
    
    So the patch throws it all away and just calls the blocking journal_start()
    from ext3_writepage().
