I was thinking this could break transaction batching from multiple threads, which would hurt performance significantly in a multi- threaded sync-heavy workload. However, it seems that jbd2_journal_stop() blocks the h_sync thread before it calls jbd2_log_start_commit(), so it looks like it should be OK.

Once a transaction has been requested to be committed, don't let any other handles start under that transaction, and don't allow any pending transactions to be extended (i.e., in the case of unlink/ftruncate). The idea is once the transaction has had log_start_commit() called on it, at least one thread is blocked waiting for that transaction to commit, and over time, more and more threads will end up getting blocked. In order to avoid high variability in file system operations getting blocked behind the a blocked start_this_handle(), we should try to get the commit started as soon as possible.
