Hi!

looks like following code in 2.5.64 has bug:

        for (bit = 0; !group_alloc &&
                        bit < sbi->s_groups_count; bit++) {
                group_no++;
                if (group_no >= sbi->s_groups_count)
                        group_no = 0;
                desc = ext2_get_group_desc(sb, group_no, &gdp_bh);
                if (!desc)
                        goto io_error;
                group_alloc = group_reserve_blocks(desc, gdp_bh, es_alloc);
        }
        if (bit >= sbi->s_groups_count) {
                *err = -ENOSPC;
                goto out_release;
        }

if group_reserve_blocks() finds free blocks on last repeat then if (bit >= ...)
will be true, and ext2_new_block() will return -ENOSPC.

here is the patch:
