I'll apply this patch, but how did you generate the diff? The
function name here is all wrong:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The lines in question are from ext4_mb_release_inode_pa(), *not*
ext4_mb_new_preallocation(). So when I inspected the patch visually,
my first reaction was, "there's no way this patch would apply".

But then I looked at the C code changed by the patch, and I was
surprised to see that it applied correctly in a completely different
function, and when I regenerated the patch, the line numbers matched
yours --- so the only thing "wrong" in your patch is the function name.

So that raises the question --- how did you create the diff in this
patch? What version of git? And what version of the kernel?

Regards,
