    9 ext4: Fix discard of inode prealloc space with delayed allocation.
    10
    11 With delayed allocation we should not/cannot discard inode prealloc
    12 space during file close. We would still have dirty pages for which we
    13 haven't allocated blocks yet. With this fix after each get_blocks
    14 request we check whether we have zero reserved blocks and if yes and
    15 we don't have any writers on the file we discard inode prealloc space.
