Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 24/34] ext4: implement buffered write iomap path

From: Zhang Yi <[email protected]>

Implement buffered write iomap path, use ext4_da_map_blocks() to map
delalloc extents and add ext4_iomap_get_blocks() to allocate blocks if
delalloc is disabled or free space is about to run out.

Note that we always allocate unwritten extents for new blocks in the
iomap write path, this means that the allocation type is no longer
controlled by the dioread_nolock mount option. After that, we could
postpone the i_disksize updating to the writeback path, and drop journal
handle in the buffered dealloc write path completely.

Make sense, we don't need to free the extra blocks beyond EOF since they
are unwritten, we can drop this handle for non-delalloc path on ext4 now.

Yeah, thanks for the explanation. The iomap_file_buffered_write_punch_delalloc()
is very useful, it find pages that have dirty data still pending in the page
cache, punch out all the delalloc blocks beside those blocks. I realized that
it is used to fix a race condition between either writeback or mmap page
faults that xfs encountered [1].

We will meet the same problem for ext3 and ext2 which are not extent based.
Their new allocated blocks were written, we need to free them if we get a short
write, but we can't simply do it through ext2_write_failed() and
ext4_truncate_failed_write(), we still need to use
iomap_file_buffered_write_punch_delalloc().
