journal_dirty_metadata9

Mark a buffer as containing dirty metadata

Arguments

handle

transaction to add buffer to.

bh

buffer to mark

Overview

Mark dirty metadata which needs to be journaled as part of the current transaction.

The buffer is placed on the transaction's metadata list and is marked as belonging to the transaction.

Returns error number or 0 on success.

Special care needs to be taken if the buffer already belongs to the current committing transaction (in which case we should have frozen data present for that commit). In that case, we don't relink the

Buffer

that only gets done when the old transaction finally completes its commit.
