[PATCH 13/42] ext4: Retry block allocation if we have free blocks left

[Theodore Ts'o]

From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When we truncate files, the meta-data blocks released are not reused
untill we commit the truncate transaction.  That means delayed get_block
request will return ENOSPC even if we have free blocks left.  Force a
journal commit and retry block allocation if we get ENOSPC with free
blocks left.
