From: Robin Dong <sanbai@xxxxxxxxxx> Creating 4-byte files until ENOSPC in a delay-allocation and bigalloc ext4 fs and then sync it, the dmseg will report like: [ 482.154538] EXT4-fs (sdb6): delayed block allocation failed for inode 1664 at logical offset 0 with max blocks 1 with error -28 [ 482.154540] EXT4-fs (sdb6): This should not happen!! Data will be lost The reason is ext4_has_free_clusters reporting wrong result. Actually, the unit of sbi->s_dirtyclusters_counter is block, so we should tranform it to cluster for argument "dirty_clusters", just like "free_clusters".
