/*
 * This file implements functions that manage the running of the commit process.
 * Each affected module has its own functions to accomplish their part in the
 * commit and those functions are called here.
 *
 * The commit is the process whereby all updates to the index and LEB properties
 * are written out together and the journal becomes empty. This keeps the
 * file system consistent - at all times the state can be recreated by reading
 * the index and LEB properties and then replaying the journal.
 *
 * The commit is split into two parts named "commit start" and "commit end".
 * During commit start, the commit process has exclusive access to the journal
 * by holding the commit semaphore down for writing. As few I/O operations as
 * possible are performed during commit start, instead the nodes that are to be
 * written are merely identified. During commit end, the commit semaphore is no
 * longer held and the journal is again in operation, allowing users to continue
 * to use the file system while the bulk of the commit I/O is performed. The
 * purpose of this two-step approach is to prevent the commit from causing any
 * latency blips. Note that in any case, the commit does not prevent lookups
 * (as permitted by the TNC mutex), or access to VFS data structures e.g. page
 * cache.

 * nothing_to_commit - check if there is nothing to commit.
 * @c: UBIFS file-system description object
 *
 * This is a helper function which checks if there is anything to commit. It is
 * used as an optimization to avoid starting the commit if it is not really
 * necessary. Indeed, the commit operation always assumes flash I/O (e.g.,
 * writing the commit start node to the log), and it is better to avoid doing
 * this unnecessarily. E.g., 'ubifs_sync_fs()' runs the commit, but if there is
 * nothing to commit, it is more optimal to avoid any flash I/O.
 *
 * This function has to be called with @c->commit_sem locked for writing -
 * this function does not take LPT/TNC locks because the @c->commit_sem
 * guarantees that we have exclusive access to the TNC and LPT data structures.
 *
 * This function returns %1 if there is nothing to commit and %0 otherwise.
