Because we can badly over-reserve metadata when we calculate worst-case, it complicates things for quota, since we must reserve and then claim later, retry on EDQUOT, etc. Quota is also a generally smaller pool than fs free blocks, so this over-reservation hurts more, and more often. I'm of the opinion that it's not the worst thing to allow metadata to push a user slightly over quota. This simplifies the code and avoids the false quota rejections that result from worst-case speculation. This patch stops the speculative quota-charging for worst-case metadata requirements, and just charges quota when the blocks are allocated at writeout. It also is able to remove the try-again loop on EDQUOT. This patch has been tested indirectly by running the xfstests suite with a hack to mount & enable quota prior to the test. I also did a more specific test of fragmenting freespace and then doing a large delalloc write under quota; quota stopped me at the right amount of file IO, and then the writeout generated enough metadata (due to the fragmentation) that it put me slightly over quota, as expected.
