-// Simple logging. Each file system system call
-// should be surrounded with begin_trans() and commit_trans() calls.
+// Simple logging that allows concurrent FS system calls.
//
-// The log holds at most one transaction at a time. Commit forces
-// the log (with commit record) to disk, then installs the affected
-// blocks to disk, then erases the log. begin_trans() ensures that
-// only one system call can be in a transaction; others must wait.
-//
-// Allowing only one transaction at a time means that the file
-// system code doesn't have to worry about the possibility of
-// one transaction reading a block that another one has modified,
-// for example an i-node block.
+// A log transaction contains the updates of multiple FS system
+// calls. The logging system only commits when there are
+// no FS system calls active. Thus there is never
+// any reasoning required about whether a commit might
+// write an uncommitted system call's updates to disk.
+//
+// A system call should call begin_op()/end_op() to mark
+// its start and end. Usually begin_op() just increments
+// the count of in-progress FS system calls and returns.
+// But if it thinks the log is close to running out, it
+// sleeps until the last outstanding end_op() commits.
//
// The log is a physical re-do log containing disk blocks.
