Hi Ted,

No we don't need the patch. The patch is wrong. We are actually taking
into account the allocated blocks in mballoc.c 

3033          */
3034         if (!(ac->ac_flags & EXT4_MB_DELALLOC_RESERVED))
3035                 /* release all the reserved blocks if non delalloc */
3036                 percpu_counter_sub(&sbi->s_dirtyblocks_counter, reserv_blks);
3037         else {
3038                 percpu_counter_sub(&sbi->s_dirtyblocks_counter,
3039							 ac->ac_b_ex.fe_len);
