The issue scenario is as following:
When fallocating a very large disk space for a small file,
__ocfs2_extend_allocation attempts to get a very large transaction. 
For some journal sizes, there may be not enough room for this 
transaction, and the fallocate will fail.

The patch below extents & restarts the transaction as necessary while
allocating space, and should work with even the smallest journal.
This patch refers ext4 resize.

Test:
# mkfs.ocfs2 -b 4K -C 32K -T datafiles /dev/sdc
...(jounral size is 32M)
# mount.ocfs2 /dev/sdc /mnt/ocfs2/
# touch /mnt/ocfs2/1.log
# fallocate -o 0 -l 400G /mnt/ocfs2/1.log
fallocate: /mnt/ocfs2/1.log: fallocate failed: Cannot allocate memory
# tail -f /var/log/messages
Jul  3 19:42:08 linux-KooNDD kernel: [ 7372.278591] JBD: fallocate wants too many credits (2051 > 2048)
Jul  3 19:42:08 linux-KooNDD kernel: [ 7372.278597] (fallocate,6438,0):__ocfs2_extend_allocation:709 ERROR: status = -12

^C

With this patch, the test works well.

Could you please cut down the log length by removing the beginning
timestamps up to "kernel:"? i.e, only show "[ 7372.....] xxxx" is fine. :)

I'll run some further tests tomorrow, thanks for your patch!

Ok, so some extra tests against combinations with different
block/cluster sizes looks good.

Good point for tracer.
It is conveniently for debugging or analyzing some issues too.
I will resent the patch in a moment. Please help to review it again.
