The Linux Manuals (man pages) document is an important part of Linux documents. Linux Manuals are organized as several sections. Each section has a group of commands for a specific area in Linux usage, administration or development.

jbd2_journal_extend – extend buffer credits. Synopsis int jbd2_journal_extend(handle_t *handle, int nblocks); Arguments handle handle to ‘extend’ nblocks nr blocks to try to extend by. Description Some transactions, such as large extends and truncates, can be done atomically all at once or in several stages. The operation requests a credit for a number of buffer modifications…
jbd2_journal_errno – returns the journal’s error state. Synopsis int jbd2_journal_errno(journal_t *journal); Arguments journal journal to examine. Description This is the errno number set with jbd2_journal_abort, the last time the journal was mounted – if the journal was stopped without calling abort this will be 0. If the journal has been aborted on this mount time…
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata – mark a buffer as containing dirty metadata Synopsis int jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(handle_t *handle, struct buffer_head *bh); Arguments handle transaction to add buffer to. bh buffer to mark Description mark dirty metadata which needs to be journaled as part of the current transaction. The buffer must have previously had jbd2_journal_get_write_access called so that it has a…
jbd2_journal_destroy – Release a journal_t structure. Synopsis int jbd2_journal_destroy(journal_t *journal); Arguments journal Journal to act on.

Copyright
jbd2_journal_check_used_features – Check if features specified are used. Synopsis int jbd2_journal_check_used_features(journal_t *journal, unsigned long compat, unsigned long ro, unsigned long incompat); Arguments journal Journal to check. compat bitmask of compatible features ro bitmask of features that force read-only mount incompat bitmask of incompatible features Description Check whether the journal uses all of a given set…
jbd2_journal_check_available_features – Check feature set in journalling layer Synopsis int jbd2_journal_check_available_features(journal_t *journal, unsigned long compat, unsigned long ro, unsigned long incompat); Arguments journal Journal to check. compat bitmask of compatible features ro bitmask of features that force read-only mount incompat bitmask of incompatible features Description Check whether the journaling code supports the use of all…
jbd2_journal_ack_err – Ack journal err. Synopsis void jbd2_journal_ack_err(journal_t *journal); Arguments journal journal to act on. Description An error must be cleared or acked to take a FS out of readonly mode. Authors Roger Gammans <rgammans [at] computer-surgery.co.uk> Author. Stephen Tweedie <sct [at] redhat.com> Author. Copyright
jbd2_journal_abort – Shutdown the journal immediately. Synopsis void jbd2_journal_abort(journal_t *journal, int errno); Arguments journal the journal to shutdown. errno an error number to record in the journal indicating the reason for the shutdown. Description Perform a complete, immediate shutdown of the ENTIRE journal (not of a single transaction). This operation cannot be undone without closing…
jbd2__journal_start – Obtain a new handle. Synopsis handle_t * jbd2__journal_start(journal_t * journal, int nblocks, int rsv_blocks, gfp_t gfp_mask, unsigned int type, unsigned int line_no); Arguments journal Journal to start transaction on. nblocks number of block buffer we might modify rsv_blocks — undescribed — gfp_mask — undescribed — type — undescribed — line_no — undescribed — Description We make sure that the transaction…
