Jan Kara 35a1f12f0c ext4: avoid excessive credit estimate in ext4_tmpfile()
A user with minimum journal size (1024 blocks these days) complained
about the following error triggered by generic/697 test in
ext4_tmpfile():

run fstests generic/697 at 2024-02-28 05:34:46
JBD2: vfstest wants too many credits credits:260 rsv_credits:0 max:256
EXT4-fs error (device loop0) in __ext4_new_inode:1083: error 28

Indeed the credit estimate in ext4_tmpfile() is huge.
EXT4_MAXQUOTAS_INIT_BLOCKS() is 219, then 10 credits from ext4_tmpfile()
itself and then ext4_xattr_credits_for_new_inode() adds more credits
needed for security attributes and ACLs. Now the
EXT4_MAXQUOTAS_INIT_BLOCKS() is in fact unnecessary because we've
already initialized quotas with dquot_init() shortly before and so
EXT4_MAXQUOTAS_TRANS_BLOCKS() is enough (which boils down to 3 credits).

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
