Hi,

You're right, it is smaller, and it is easier to follow.
Here is the combined patch:

GFS2: decouple quota allocations from block allocations

This patch separates the code pertaining to allocations into two
parts: quota-related information and block reservations.
This added complexity allows for code simplification in a
follow-on patch. I could have done the simplification with this
patch but I wanted to preserve the original logic as much as
possible so that patch isn't too big and complex.
