DESCRIPTION

19       Some transactions, such as large extends and truncates, can be done
20       atomically all at once or in several stages. The operation requests a
21       credit for a number of buffer modications in advance, but can extend
22       its credit if it needs more.
23
24       journal_extend tries to give the running handle more buffer credits. It
25       does not guarantee that allocation - this is a best-effort only. The
26       calling process MUST be able to deal cleanly with a failure to extend
27       here.
28
29       Return 0 on success, non-zero on failure.
30
31       return code < 0 implies an error return code > 0 implies normal
32       transaction-full status.
