Subject: [05/11] ext4: Retry block reservation

From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>
Date: Mon Sep 8 23:14:50 2008 -0400
Subject: ext4: Retry block reservation

commit 030ba6bc67b4f2bc5cd174f57785a1745c929abe upstream.

During block reservation if we don't have enough blocks left, retry
block reservation with smaller block counts.  This makes sure we try
fallocate and DIO with smaller request size and don't fail early.  The
delayed allocation reservation cannot try with smaller block count. So
retry block reservation to handle temporary disk full conditions.  Also
print free blocks details if we fail block allocation during writepages.
