Delayed allocation extents are freed later in ext4_clear_inode() but this
happens when quota reference is already dropped. This leads to leak of
reserved space in quota block, which disappears after umount-mount.

This seems broken for a long time but worked somehow until recent changes
in delayed allocation.

Sorry, I may have missed it, but could you please help understand
what recent changes in delayed allocation make this break or worse?

I don't see problem for 4.19. Haven't bisected yet.
Most likely this is around 'reserved cluster accounting'.

I suspect before these changes something always triggered da before unlink and
space usage committed and then truncated at eviction.



A silly query, since I couldn't figure it out. Maybe the code has been
there ever since like this:-

So why can't we just move drop_dquot later after the ext4_es_remove_extent() (in function ext4_clear_inode)? Any known
problems around that?

Clear_inode is called also when inode evicts from cache while it has nlinks
and stays at disk. I'm not sure how this must interact with reserves.
