Subject: [PATCH -v2] ext4: Use page_mkwrite vma_operations to get mmap write notification.

We would like to get notified when we are doing a write on mmap section.
This is needed with respect to preallocated area. We split the preallocated
area into initialzed extent and uninitialzed extent in the call back. This
let us handle ENOSPC better. Otherwise we get ENOSPC in the writepage and
that would result in data loss. The changes are also needed to handle ENOSPC
when writing to an mmap section of files with holes.

Hi Aneesh,

I have a concern, it seems we missed journalling the allocation activity
for the mmaped write. See comments below...

Another thing, perhaps similar patch should be ported to ext2/3, as this
also addressed the mmaped write ENOSPC error without
preallocation/deleyed allocation.

I don't see block allocation being journalled here. block_page_mkwrite()
eventually calling block_prepare_write() which invokes ext4_get_block()
without starting a new journal handle.

Perhaps call ext4 write_begin() and write_end() inode operations, that
would taking care of different write_begin and write_end for three
different journalling mode.

You are correct. I missed the journalling details when working on the
patch. Will send the one with fix.
