When ext4 is running on a filesystem without a journal, it tries not to reuse recently deleted inodes to provide better chances for filesystem recovery in case of crash. However this logic forbids reuse of freed inodes for up to 5 minutes and especially for filesystems with smaller number of inodes can lead to ENOSPC errors returned when allocating new inodes. Fix the problem by allowing to reuse recently deleted inode if there's no other inode free in the scanned range.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
