Unfortunately, no. The only reproducer I've managed so far was a (huge)
private/customer metadump that consistently reproduced log reservation
overruns over a long running file removal operation. Even then, that
particular instance was worked around by the previous reworks of the
inode transaction reservation calculations.
While we ended up with a workaround for that problem, it was still known
that the agfl fixups were unpredictable and we couldn't guarantee
coverage by the reservation calculations without making them excessively
large. So this series aims to make the agfl fixup (freeing,
specifically) behavior itself predictable such that it always fits in an
allocation log reservation unit.

Thanks.. does this refer to just this patch, btw, or the previous 3?
