  Why do you think so? Look at:
        /* Delalloc case is easy... */
        if (test_opt(inode->i_sb, DELALLOC) &&
            !ext4_should_journal_data(inode) &&
            !ext4_nonda_switch(inode->i_sb)) {
                do {
                        ret = __block_page_mkwrite(vma, vmf,
                                                   ext4_da_get_block_prep);
                } while (ret == -ENOSPC &&
                       ext4_should_retry_alloc(inode->i_sb, &retries));
                goto out_ret;
        }
