From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx>
The extents codepath for ext4_truncate() requests journal transaction
credits in very small chunks, requesting only what is needed. This
means there may not be enough credits left on the transaction handle
after ext4_truncate() returns and then when ext4_delete_inode() tries
finish up its work, it may not have enough transaction credits,
causing a BUG() oops in the jbd2 core.
Also, reserve an extra 2 blocks when starting an ext4_delete_inode()
since we need to update the inode bitmap, as well as update the
orphaned inode linked list.

This new version of the patch reserves a few extra credits to make sure
we have enough for the inode bitmap and the orphaned inode list. We
keep the call to ext4_ext_journal_restart() because the extents truncate
code doesn't allocate any extra slop.
