Subject: [PATCH 7/12] ext4 balloc: reset windowsz when full


------------------------------------------------------
Subject: ext2 balloc: reset windowsz when full
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@...itas.com>

ext2_new_blocks should reset the reservation window size to 0 when squeezing
the last blocks out of an almost full filesystem, so the retry doesn't skip
any groups with less than half that free, reporting ENOSPC too soon.

------------------------------------------------------
Sync up reservation fix from ext2 in ext4
