💅 jbd2_journal...ommit_nested(9) — NAME

Okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for jbd2_journal...ommit_nested(9) (yes that's the title, it's giving truncated-and-thriving, don't @ me) ✨

jbd2_journal_force_commit_nested — force and wait upon a commit if the calling process is not within transaction. That's the whole vibe check: no transaction, no problem, commit gets forced and we wait for it like a text back 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS

int jbd2_journal_force_commit_nested (journal_t *journal );

That's it, that's the signature. She's short and she knows it 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS

  • journal — the journal to force. And heads up, the docs slide "Returns true if progress was made" right in here too, so like... noted, iconically 📝

🦋 DESCRIPTION

So here's the tea: this one's used for forcing out undo-protected data that contains bitmaps, when the fs is running out of space. Lowkey a rescue mission 🚨 — the filesystem's about to run dry on space and you need those undo-protected bitmap-having bits pushed out. Slay. No cap, that's the entire job description.

⭐ SEE ALSO

Kernel file ./fs/jbd2/journal.c — go read her, she's the main character 👑

And the whole friend group:

bestie if you're here because your fs is running out of space, that's between you and the bitmaps 💀
