Subject: [PATCH] ext4: delayed allocation i_blocks fix for stat(2)

ext4: delayed allocation i_blocks fix for stat(2)

From: Mingming Cao <cmm@...ibm.com>

Right now i_blocks is not getting updated until the disks are actually
allocaed on disk.  This means with delayed allocation, right after files
are copied, "ls -sF" shoes the file as taking 0 blocks on disk.  "du"
also shows the files taking zero space, which is highly confusing to the user.

Since current delayed allocation already keep track of per-inode total number
of blocks that are subject to delayed allocation, this patch fix this by using
that to adjust the value returned by stat(2). When real block allocation
is done, the i_blocks will get updated. Since the reserved blocks for delayed
allocation will be decreased, this will be keep value returned by stat(2)
consistent.
