All this iomap code is new, so it's entirely possible that this is a
new bug. The assert failure is indicative that the delalloc extent's
metadata reservation grew when we expected it to stay the same or
shrink.

And that's indicative of a delalloc metadata reservation being
being too small and so we're allocating unreserved blocks.

Different symptoms, same underlying cause, I think.

I see the latter assert from time to time in my testing, but it's
not common (maybe once a month) and I've never been able to track it
down.  However, it doesn't affect production systems unless they hit
ENOSPC hard enough that it causes the critical reserve pool to be
exhausted iand so the allocation fails. That's extremely rare -
usually takes a several hundred processes all trying to write as had
as they can concurrently and to all slip through the ENOSPC
detection without the correct metadata reservations and all require
multiple metadata blocks to be allocated durign writeback...

If you've got a way to trigger it quickly and reliably, that would
be helpful...

Cheers,

Dave.
