    I tried Suparna's mpage_writepages_getblocks patch with my
    ext3_get_blocks patch, seems to work fine, except that still only one
    block is allocated at a time. I got a little confused....

    I did not see any delayed allocation code in your patch, I assume you
    have to update ext3_prepare_write to not call ext3_get_block, so that
    block allocation will be defered at ext3_writepages time. So without the
    delayed allocation part, the get_blocks in mpage_writepages is doing
    multiple blocks look up only, right?
