Right. So fallocate() will call ext4_map_blocks() and
ext4_es_lookup_extent() will find delayed extent and set EXT4_MAP_DELAYED
which you (due to patch 2 of this series) transform into
EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_DELALLOC_RESERVE. We used to update the delalloc
accounting through in ext4_ext_map_blocks() but this patch moved the update
to ext4_es_insert_extent(). But there is one cornercase even here AFAICT:

Suppose fallocate is called for range 0..16k, we have delalloc extent at
8k..16k. In this case ext4_map_blocks() at block 0 will not find the
delalloc extent but ext4_ext_map_blocks() will allocate 16k from mballoc
without using delalloc reservation but then ext4_es_insert_extent() will
still have rinfo.delonly_block > 0 so we claim the quota reservation
instead of releasing it?

I agree. In this case there's no difference.

Yes, if the allocation starts within delalloc range, we will have
EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_DELALLOC_RESERVE set and ndelonly_blocks will always be >
0.

Well, this is similar to the non-bigalloc case I was asking about above.
Why the allocated unwritten extent cannot extend past the start of delalloc
extent? I didn't find anything that would disallow that...
