    xfs: create delalloc bmapi wrapper for full extent allocation · 627209fb
    Brian Foster authored
    The writeback delalloc conversion code is racy with respect to
    changes in the currently cached file mapping. This stems from the
    fact that the bmapi allocation code requires a file range to
    allocate and the writeback conversion code assumes the range of the
    currently cached mapping is still valid with respect to the fork. It
    may not be valid, however, because the ilock is cycled (potentially
    multiple times) between the time the cached mapping was populated
    and the delalloc conversion occurs.
    
    To facilitate a solution to this problem, create a new
    xfs_bmapi_delalloc() wrapper to xfs_bmapi_write() that takes a file
    (FSB) offset and attempts to allocate whatever delalloc extent backs
    the offset. Use a new bmapi flag to cause xfs_bmapi_write() to set
    the range based on the extent backing the bno parameter unless bno
    lands in a hole. If bno does land in a hole, fall back to the
    current behavior (which may result in an error or quietly skipping
    holes in the specified range depending on other parameters). This
    patch does not change behavior.
