ext4: Don't reuse released data blocks until transaction commits
We need to make sure we don't reuse the data blocks released during the transaction untill the transaction commits. We force this mode only for ordered and journalled mode. Writeback mode already don't provided data consistency. Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
