So far we have reserved only relatively high fixed amount of revoke credits for each transaction. We over-reserved by large amount for most cases but when freeing large directories or files with data journalling, the fixed amount is not enough. In fact the worst case estimate is inconveniently large (maximum extent size) for freeing of one extent. We fix this by doing proper estimate of the amount of blocks that need to be revoked when removing blocks from the inode due to truncate or hole punching and otherwise reserve just a small amount of revoke credits for each transaction to accommodate freeing of xattrs block or so.

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 Restructured Text 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.
