From: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@xxxxxxxxxx> When doing block allocation, magic EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_DELALLOC_RESERVE means the allocating range covers a range of delayed allocated clusters, the blocks and quotas have already been reserved in ext4_da_map_blocks(), we should update the reserved space and don't need to claim them again. At the moment, we only set this magic in mpage_map_one_extent() when allocating a range of delayed allocated clusters in the write back path, it makes things complicated since we have to notice and deal with the case of allocating non-delayed allocated clusters separately in ext4_ext_map_blocks(). For example, it we fallocate some blocks that have been delayed allocated, free space would be claimed again in ext4_mb_new_blocks() (this is wrong exactily), and we can't claim quota space again, we have to release the quota reservations made for that previously delayed allocated clusters. Move the position thats set the EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_DELALLOC_RESERVE to where we actually do block allocation, it could simplify above handling a lot, it means that we always set this magic once the allocation range covers delalloc blocks, no need to take care of the allocation path.
