Thank you for your explanation.
OK. Now I understand why the call to ext4_new_blocks_old in ext4_mb_new_blocks
is necessary.
The ar.lleft/pleft and ar.lright/pright values are very useful in the case
that extent and mballoc are used at the same time.
But in other case, i.e. noextent & mballoc, extent & nomballoc, noextent &
nomballoc, these values are useless.
Is that right?
