btrfs: fix lost file sync on direct IO write with nowait and dsync iocb
When doing a direct IO write using a iocb with nowait and dsync set, we end up not syncing the file once the write completes. This is because we tell iomap to not call generic_write_sync(), which would result in calling btrfs_sync_file(), in order to avoid a deadlock since iomap can call it while we are holding the inode's lock and btrfs_sync_file() needs to acquire the inode's lock. The deadlock happens only if the write happens synchronously, when iomap_dio_rw() calls iomap_dio_complete() before it returns. Instead we do the sync ourselves at btrfs_do_write_iter(). For a nowait write however we can end up not doing the sync ourselves at at btrfs_do_write_iter() because the write could have been queued, and therefore we get -EIOCBQUEUED returned from iomap in such case. That makes us skip the sync call at btrfs_do_write_iter(), as we don't do it for any error returned from btrfs_direct_write(). We can't simply do the call even if -EIOCBQUEUED is returned, since that would block the task waiting for IO, both for the data since there are bios still in progress as well as potentially blocking when joining a log transaction and when syncing the log (writing log trees, super blocks, etc). So let iomap do the sync call itself and in order to avoid deadlocks for the case of synchronous writes (without nowait), use __iomap_dio_rw() and have ourselves call iomap_dio_complete() after unlocking the inode. A test case will later be sent for fstests, after this is fixed in Linus' tree.
