Subject: [PATCH] Ext4: avoid multiple quota reservation when retry block reservation for delalloc

Ext4: release reserved quota before block reservation for delalloc retry

ext4_da_reserve_space() can reserve quota blocks multiple times if
ext4_claim_free_blocks() fail and we retry the allocation. We should
release the quota reservation before restarting.

Bug found be Jan Kara.

The patch is fine. Acked-by: Jan Kara <[email protected]>
But it's certainly not the issue hit by Pavol but I'm out of ideas where
could be a problem provided he runs with extents...

I am not sure where is the problem reported by Pavol by looking at the
code either. Perhaps enable some debugging code, but I am under
