Subject: [PATCH 00/11] ext4: Bunch of DIO/AIO fixes V4

There are number of races exist caused by lack of synchronization
between DIO/AIO workers and truncate/fsync/punch_hole routines
This patch series try to optimize and fix existing DIO/AIO code

I observe significant performance improvements for big SMP hosts.

Testcases which helps me to catch this type of bugs was posted here
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-fsdevel/msg58312.html
or available on my github repo:

ext4: completed_io locking cleanup V4
ext4: remove ext4_end_io()
ext4: serialize dio nonlocked reads with defrag workers V3
ext4: serialize unlocked dio reads with truncate
ext4: endless truncate due to nonlocked dio readers V2
ext4: serialize truncate with owerwrite DIO workers V2
# Nasty panch_hole regressions
ext4: punch_hole should wait for DIO writers V2

Changes from V3:
	- satisfy ./checkpatch.pl rules
 	- Rework 'completed_io locking cleanup'
	- fix mistype in 'serialize dio nonlocked reads with defrag workers V3'
