ext3: retry failed direct IO allocations
On a 256M 4k block filesystem, doing this in a loop:
dd if=/dev/zero of=test oflag=direct bs=1M count=64
rm -f test
eventually leads to spurious ENOSPC:
dd: writing `test': No space left on device
As with other block allocation callers, it looks like we need to
potentially retry the allocations on the initial ENOSPC.
A similar patch went into ext4 (commit
