b6349ac89e [LogFS] Split large truncated into smaller chunks
Truncate would do an almost limitless amount of work without invoking
the garbage collector in between.  Split it up into more manageable,
though still large, chunks.

1f1b0008e8 [LogFS] Prevent mempool_destroy NULL pointer dereference
It would probably be better to just accept NULL pointers in
mempool_destroy().  But for the current -rc series let's keep things
simple.

This patch was lost in the cracks for a while.
Kevin Cernekee <cernekee@gmail.com> had to rediscover the problem and
send a similar patch because of it. :(

032d8f7268 [LogFS] Prevent memory corruption on large deletes
Removing sufficiently large files would create aliases for a large
number of segments.  This in turn results in a large number of journal
entries and an overflow of s_je_array.

Cheap fix is to add a BUG_ON, turning memory corruption into something
annoying, but less dangerous.  Real fix is to count the number of
affected segments and prevent the problem completely.

1932191726 Prevent data corruption in logfs_rewrite_block()
The comment was correct, so make the code match the comment.  As the
new comment indicates, we might be able to do a little less work.  But
for the current -rc series let's keep it simple and just fix the bug.

c6d3830140 [LogFS] Only write journal if dirty
This prevents unnecessary journal writes.  More importantly it prevents
an oops due to a journal write on failed mount.
