[PATCH] ext3_get_blocks: Adjust reservation window size for mblocks
Optimize the block reservation and the multiple block allocation: with the
knowledge of the total number of blocks ahead, set or adjust the reservation
window size properly (based on the number of blocks needed) before block
allocation happens: if there isn't any reservation yet, make sure the
reservation window equals to or greater than the number of blocks needed,
before create an reservation window; if a reservation window is already
exists, try to extends the window size to match the number of blocks to
allocate. This could increase the possibility of completing multiple blocks
allocation in a single request, as blocks are only allocated in the range of
the inode's reservation window.
