But finally I think I got this right. Here is the increamental fix. Please let me know what you think about the approch. Thanks, Mingming ext4: async direct IO for holes and fallocate support From: Mingming for async direct IO that covers holes or fallocate, the end_io call back function now queued the convertion work on workqueue but don't flush the work rightaway as it might take too long to afford. But when fsyc is called after all the data is completed, user expects the metadata also being updated before fsync returns. Thus we need to flush the conversion work when fsync() is called.This patch keep track of a listed of completed async direct io that has a work queued on workqueue. When fsycn() is called, it will go through the list and do the conversion.
