commit 812c0cab2c0dfad977605dbadf9148490ca5d93f upstream.
There are enough credits reserved for most dioread_nolock writes; however, if the extent tree is sufficiently deep, and/or quota is enabled, the code was not allowing for all eventualities when reserving journal credits for the unwritten extent conversion.
This problem can be seen using xfstests ext4/034:
