[PATCH 1/12] ext3 balloc: reset windowsz when full

[Mingming Cao]

Port a series ext2 balloc patches from Hugh to ext3/4. The first 6
patches are against ext3, and the rest are aginst ext4.


------------------------------------------------------
Subject: ext2 balloc: reset windowsz when full
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@xxxxxxxxxxx>

ext2_new_blocks should reset the reservation window size to 0 when squeezing
the last blocks out of an almost full filesystem, so the retry doesn't skip
any groups with less than half that free, reporting ENOSPC too soon.

------------------------------------------------------
Sync up reservation fix from ext2
