    jbd: don't wait (forever) for stale tid caused by wraparound · e678a4f0
    Jan Kara authored
    In the case where an inode has a very stale transaction id (tid) in
    i_datasync_tid or i_sync_tid, it's possible that after a very large
    (2**31) number of transactions, that the tid number space might wrap,
    causing tid_geq()'s calculations to fail.
    
    Commit d9b01934 "jbd: fix fsync() tid wraparound bug" attempted to fix
    this problem, but it only avoided kjournald spinning forever by fixing
    the logic in jbd_log_start_commit().
