  It would be useful to have some description of the feature - i.e. what
are you trying to achieve and how do you implement it. It would simplify
the review.
  Also do you have some performance numbers?

  Can't you pass negative offset here? Probably you could make 'free'
'ires' aligned (at least after the initial check). BTW: doing this check
in a backward fashion by ires sized bits is going to be slow - caches
don't like such access pattern - so maybe something better would be
needed.

  Why is group 0 special here?

  I see two issues here:
  1) What is the logic behind this? The original code decides based on
amount of free space in the group if we have at least average number of
free inodes. But you just decide based on bg_itable_unused which seems
strange to me.
  2) If the logic is fine, I don't see why do you use special variables
best_ires_group and best_ires_desc?

  In find: you just fall through and return ires_ino. So you may as well
set it here and return or create a new label 'return:' and jump there.
The code would be easier to read.

  This seems like just a formatting change without an apparent reason,
or am I missing something? At least the change in the comment actually
describes something which already happened up in the code.

  Wouldn't it be better to allow user to set the number of reserved
inodes by this option? I.e. allowing something like dir_ireserve=64? And
having some sane default of course when the number is not specified.
Most users won't touch the option and those who are knowledgable
enough would like to experiment with the number anyway...
