Thank you for checking the patches. :)

Yup, I noticed that issue, I guess we can avoid this race condition by
covering these two flows w/ i_atomic_sem.

I'm fine w/ your change as it's more clean, but it's better to drop cow_inode's
page cache if atomic_write is committed or aborted to avoid caching obsolete page?

Thanks,
