Why did the block allocation fail ? With delayed allocation ENOSPC should not happen during block allocation.

This problem occurs in multiple defrag running in short time. Usually defrag releases temporary inode's blocks with iput, then FS free blocks are recover but contiguous blocks do not recover until next journal commit. so we can not re-use contiguous blocks immediately. There are enough free blocks in FS so that ext4_claim_free_blocks marks claimed blocks as dirty, but ext4_regular_allocator can not find enough blocks, so mb_new_blocks returns ENOSPC without decreasing dirty blocks.
