+Subject: [PATCH] journal: letting (interleaved) seqnums go
+
+In the following scenario:
+  server creates system.journal
+  server creates user-1000.journal
+both journals share the same seqnum_id.
+Then
+  server writes to user-1000.journal first,
+  and server writes to system.journal a bit later,
+and everything is fine.
+The server then terminates (crash, reboot, rsyslog testing,
+whatever), and user-1000.journal has entries which end with
+a lower seqnum than system.journal. Now
+  server is restarted
+  server opens user-1000.journal and writes entries to it...
+BAM! duplicate seqnums for the same seqnum_id.
+
+Now, we usually don't see that happen, because system.journal
+is closed last, and opened first. Since usually at least one
+message is written during boot and lands in the system.journal,
+the seqnum is initialized from it, and is set to a number higher
+than than anything found in user journals. Nevertheless, if
+system.journal is corrupted and is rotated, it can happen that
+an entry is written to the user journal with a seqnum that is
+a duplicate with an entry found in the corrupted system.journal~.
+When browsing the journal, journalctl can fall into a loop
+where it tries to follow the seqnums, and tries to go the
+next location by seqnum, and is transported back in time to
+to the older duplicate seqnum. There is not way to find
+out the maximum seqnum used in a multiple files, without
+actually looking at all of them. But we don't want to do
+that because it would be slow, and actually it isn't really
+possible, because a file might e.g. be temporarily unaccessible.
+
+Fix the problem by using different seqnum series for user
+journals. Using the same seqnum series for rotated journals
+is still fine, because we know that nothing will write
+to the rotated journal anymore.
