  I had a look at the patch and I miss two things:
Why do we need EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_RESERVED flag? Cannot we just directly
use i_delalloc_reserved?
  Also adding EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_METADATA to some calls will also result
in avoiding to reallocate these blocks for the same transaction. Why
do you do this?

  Besides that a few style / language nitpicks:
Please use empty line to separate variable declaration and code. It's
a good custom followed in most places of the kernel.

  I have some troubles understanding the above comment so if you actually
know what 'discard' and 'free()' mean in this context, please update it.
Otherwise, just leave it...
  Also suggested format for multiline comments is:
/*
 *  Some text
 *  more text
 */

  This removal of empty line is unintended?

  Line wrap doesn't seem to be needed above...
