I think in most cases, cur_reserved_blocks is equal to reserved_blocks, 
so we do not need to calculate min any more, otherwise,
if reserved_blocks is not 0, it will calculate min and set 
current_reserved_blocks each time.

I think cur_reserved_blocks can never be larger than reserved_blocks in 
any case. so min(reserved_blocks,
cur_reserved_blocks +1) is same to cur_reserved_blocks++ when 
reserved_blocks != cur_reserved_blocks
(which means reserved_blocks > cur_reserved_block )

I do not understand why it is not safe to decrease cur_reserved_blocks, 
for example,
if current cur_reserved_blocks is 100, now decrease it to 80, is there 
any problem?
If 80 will make free space zero, how does 100 exist?
And I do not think it is safe as following:
          *ui = t;
+        sbi->current_reserved_blocks = min(sbi->reserved_blocks,
+                sbi->user_block_count - valid_user_blocks(sbi));

If user_block_count = 200, valid_user_blocks=150, reserved_blocks = 100,
then current_reserved_block = min(100,200-50) = 50, in this case, free space
is suddenly becoming zero.
To avoid this, I change the code to:

+        if (t < (unsigned long)sbi->cur_reserved_blocks)
+            sbi->cur_reserved_blocks = t;

I think it is only safe to decrease the value of cur_reserved_blocks, 
and leave increase operation to
dec_valid_block(,node)_count, it is safe to increase cur_reserved_blocks 
there.
