Eric Whitney b6bf9171ef ext4: reduce reserved cluster count by number of allocated clusters
Ext4 does not always reduce the reserved cluster count by the number
of clusters allocated when mapping a delayed extent.  It sometimes
adds back one or more clusters after allocation if delalloc blocks
adjacent to the range allocated by ext4_ext_map_blocks() share the
clusters newly allocated for that range.  However, this overcounts
the number of clusters needed to satisfy future mapping requests
(holding one or more reservations for clusters that have already been
allocated) and premature ENOSPC and quota failures, etc., result.

Ext4 also does not reduce the reserved cluster count when allocating
clusters for non-delayed allocated writes that have previously been
reserved for delayed writes.  This also results in overcounts.

To make it possible to handle reserved cluster accounting for
fallocated regions in the same manner as used for other non-delayed
writes, do the reserved cluster accounting for them at the time of
allocation.  In the current code, this is only done later when a
delayed extent sharing the fallocated region is finally mapped.

Address comment correcting handling of unsigned long long constant
from Jan Kara's review of RFC version of this patch.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
