Hi Aneesh,

When I remove the file that is running online defrag, the following error occurs
after closing the file descriptor:

Jan 22 17:06:52 G3-OPC-SVR2 kernel: EXT4-fs error (device hda8):
ext4_mb_release_inode_pa: free 2048, pa_free 1562
Jan 22 17:06:52 G3-OPC-SVR2 kernel: EXT4-fs error (device hda8): mb_free_blocks:

So, online defrag calls ext4_discard_preallocations() at the end of
ext4_defrag() to avoid double-free error.
However, above error hasn't occurred since applying your patch posted on Nov
6th, 2008 because this error is caused by the same reason of your report.

What is the status of this patch?
