When considering how many journal credits are needed for modifying a chunk of data, we need to account for the super block, inode block, quota blocks and xattr block, indirect/index blocks, also, group bitmap and group descriptor blocks for new allocation (including data and indirect/index blocks). There are many places in ext4 do the calculation on their own and often missed one or two meta blocks, and often they assume single block allocation, and did not considering the multile chunk of allocation case.
This patch is trying to cleanup current journal credit code, provides some common helper funtion to calculate the journal credits, to be used for writepage, writepages, DIO, fallocate, migration, defrag, and for both nonextent and extent files.
This patch modified the writepage/write_begin credit caculation for nonextent files, to use the new helper function. It also fixed the problem that writepage on nonextent files did not consider the case blocksize <pagesize, thus could possibelly need multiple block allocation in a single transaction.

H A D | inode.c | ac51d837 Thu Nov 06 15:49:36 CST 2008 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> ext4: calculate journal credits correctly
This fixes a 2.6.27 regression which was introduced in commit a02908f1.
We weren't passing the chunk parameter down to the two subections, ext4_indirect_trans_blocks() and ext4_ext_index_trans_blocks(), with the result that massively overestimate the amount of credits needed by ext4_da_writepages, especially in the non-extents case. This causes failures especially on /boot partitions, which tend to be small and non-extent using since GRUB doesn't handle extents.
This patch fixes the bug reported by Joseph Fannin at: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11964
