NAME
       journal_restart - restart a handle.

SYNOPSIS
       int journal_restart(handle_t * handle, int nblocks);

ARGUMENTS
       handle
	   handle to restart

       nblocks
	   nr credits requested

DESCRIPTION
       Restart a handle for a multi-transaction filesystem operation.

       If the journal_extend call above fails to grant new buffer credits to a running handle, a call to journal_restart will commit the handle's
       transaction so far and reattach the handle to a new transaction capabable of guaranteeing the requested number of credits.
