[ Upstream commit 300b072df7 ]
The transaction manager initialization in txInit() was not properly
initializing TxBlock[0].waitor waitqueue, causing a crash when
txEnd(0) is called on read-only filesystems.
When a filesystem is mounted read-only, txBegin() returns tid=0 to
indicate no transaction. However, txEnd(0) still gets called and
tries to access TxBlock[0].waitor via tid_to_tblock(0), but this
waitqueue was never initialized because the initialization loop
started at index 1 instead of 0.
This causes a 'non-static key' lockdep warning and system crash:
INFO: trying to register non-static key in txEnd
Fix by ensuring all transaction blocks including TxBlock[0] have
their waitqueues properly initialized during txInit().

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 Restructured Text 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.
