Hello Tejun, 

I've hit the following problems under memory-heavy workload conditions: 

First is a BUG_ON : J_ASSERT(journal_current_handle() == handle);

I consulted with Jan his opinion is that this is due to ->journal_info 
in workqueue threads gets modified while the work was running.  

I've also hit this lockdep, Jan also said it's due to ->journal_info being 
modified, so 
we have to start a new handle, thus causing the splat.
