From: Brian Foster <bfoster@xxxxxxxxxx> If we hit a condition where we have allocated metadata blocks that were not appropriately reserved, we risk underflow of ei->i_reserved_meta_blocks. In turn, this can throw sbi->s_dirtyclusters_counter significantly out of whack and undermine the nondelalloc fallback logic in ext4_nonda_switch(). Warn if this occurs and fix up the counter to handle only what we've reserved. This condition is reproduced by xfstests 270 against ext2 with delalloc enabled.
