We are going to remove the EOFBLOCKS_FL flag in the future, so this is
the first part of the removal. We can not remove it entirely just now,
since the e2fsck is still checking for it and it might cause headache to
some people. Instead, remove the restrictive checks now and the rest
later, when the new e2fsck code is out and common enough.
This is also needed because punch hole already breaks the EOFBLOCKS_FL
semantics, so it might cause the some troubles. So simply remove it.

We have to clear the EOFBLOCK flag in the case that we just punched
out all blocks allocated past the i_size, so that e2fsck does not
compain about it. Even though we're going to remove EOFBLOCKS flag
in the future we still have to handle it correctly for now as there
are e2fsck versions out there which would complain about it. We can
remove this after the new e2fsck code ignoring the EOFBLOCKS flag
is common enough.

This patch removes a fix that is now being addressed in another
patch. The code being removed also made the assumption that a
hole cannot exceed or start after i_size, but since this is no
longer the case and the source of the bug has been corrected in
a different patch, this code is no longer needed.
The removed code initally corrected a bug found in fsx,
where garbage data would appear in the last page after i_size, when
ever a hole ended in the same page as i_size. The cause of the cause
of the garbage data has been fixed in patch
"[PATCH 2/2] ext4: let ext4_bio_write_page handle EOF correctly"
This patch set has been tested with fsx on a 1k block size, and
successfully passed 24 hours.

I was looking at this patch, and I was wondering why we weren't taking
i_mutex earlier in ext4_ext_punch_hole(). The primary use of i_mutex
is to protect writes racing with each other and with truncate. Given
that punch essentially works like truncate, and all of ext4_truncate()
is run with i_mutex down, and currently ext4_ext_punch_hole() (before
applying this patch) doesn't isn't taking i_mutex at all, I'm
wondering if we can run into problems where punch is racing against a
write --- if the pages are already in mapped, then the write might not
even need to take i_data_sem.
Lukas, Allison --- am I missing something here?

Hmm, so we can not race with truncate since we do not touch i_size in
punch_hole and the extent tree modification is done with i_data_sem
locked.
As far as write is concerned, I do not think that race is possible. If
for example we're trying to write into the same range we're punching out
the buffer we're trying to write into is either mapped, or not right ?
If it's mapped then punch_hole did not get to this block yet, but it
will eventually in the current transaction. If the buffer is unmapped,
then we're going to get a new block, which means we're going to have to
lock the i_data_sem, but since punch_hole is already holding it we have
to wait before it finishes.
The worse what can happen is that after a write spanning several block
we'll have first part of the write punched out, but second part written
correctly since in this case it might hit already punched block
and need to wait for punch_hole to finish, after that the rest of the
range is written. However the write should remain consistent on block
granularity which is all we guarantee anyway, right ?

I need to look more closely at this, but thing that was worrying me
was the part of truncate/punch where we have to invalidate the parts
of the page cache where we've unmapped the blocks. i.e., the call to
truncate_inode_pages_range() racing with the write. I think we're ok,
since truncate_inode_pages_range() grabs the page spinlock and then
checks for PageWriteback, which ought to be sufficient, but truncate
does take that codepath with i_mutex down, and so my spidey sense is
tingling. I may just being too paranoid, though.
Still, that's not a criticism of your patch.
More serious is the following lockdep warning that I got. Grabbing
i_mutex after the transaction handle is started can lead to a circular
locking deadlock...

Hrm, that's not very good. So we probably need to take the i_mutex for
the whole transaction. It's not pretty solution, but I do not see other
way around. Maybe we could clear the flag after the punch_hole in
different transaction, but then the fallocate keep size and punch_hole
race window would be much bigger.
