commit 27ba5b67312a944576addc4df44ac3b709aabede upstream.
Commit 9f356e5a4f12 ("jbd2: Account descriptor blocks into
t_outstanding_credits") started to account descriptor blocks into
transactions outstanding credits. However it didn't appropriately
decrease the maximum amount of credits available to userspace. Thus if
the filesystem requests a transaction smaller than
j_max_transaction_buffers but large enough that when descriptor blocks
are added the size exceeds j_max_transaction_buffers, we confuse
add_transaction_credits() into thinking previous handles have grown the
transaction too much and enter infinite journal commit loop in
start_this_handle() -> add_transaction_credits() trying to create
transaction with enough credits available.
Fix the problem by properly accounting for transaction space reserved
for descriptor blocks when verifying requested transaction handle size.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
