Thanks for sending the first fix, I am actually surprisely to know the
fix didn't get merged before, as Jan has pointed this out when he review
the original patch and I have get this fixed...somehow the latest patch
wasn't being picked at the end.

here it is.

About the second and third issue you are trying to fix here... I think
the current code does what you want already.

The current code does reserve quota for metadata blocks at
ext4_da_update_reserve_space() already and delay the quota claim at the
later time when metadata blocks are really allocated (via
ext4_mb_mark_diskspace_used), extra reserved quota for metadata blocks
will get freed at ext4_da_update_reserve_space().
ext4_mb_mark_diskspace_used() is called for every block allocation
including medatadata allocation, so we won't miss quota claim for
metadata there.

The reason that I keep all quota claim immediately at the block
allocation time via ext4_mb_mark_diskspace_used() is to keep the block
allocation space accounting/dirty/delayed block space accounting/quota
accounting in the same place; Plus, when ext4_da_update_reserve_space()
called, the number of blocks passed is the number of blocks mapped, may
not necessarilly the the number of blocks just new allocated.

cheers,
Mingming
