My original idea was very simple, after patch 2, we always set EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_DELALLOC_RESERVE when allocating blocks for delalloc extent, these two conditions in the 'if' branch can never be true at the same time, so they become dead code and I dropped them. if (!(flags & EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_DELALLOC_RESERVE) && ext4_es_scan_range(inode, &ext4_es_is_delayed, ...) But after thinking your change log, I agree with you that we have already properly update the reservation by searching delayed blocks through ext4_es_delayed_clu() in ext4_ext_map_blocks() when we allocated unwritten extent under some delayed allocated extent even it's not from the write back path, so I think we can also drop them even without patch 2. But just one point, I think the last last sentence isn't exactly true before path 6, should it be "Allocating the new extent blocks will properly release the reservation." now ?
