Subject: [PATCH v3] ext4: fix data integrity sync in ordered mode
When we perform a data integrity sync we tag all the dirty pages with
PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE at start of ext4_da_writepages.
Later we check for this tag in write_cache_pages_da and creates a
struct mpage_da_data containing contiguously indexed pages tagged with this
tag and sync these pages with a call to mpage_da_map_and_submit.
This process is done in while loop until all the PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE pages
are synced. We also do journal start and stop in each iteration.
journal_stop could initiate journal commit which would call ext4_writepage
which in turn will call ext4_bio_write_page even for delayed OR unwritten
buffers. When ext4_bio_write_page is called for such buffers, even though it
does not sync them but it clears the PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE of the corresponding
page and hence these pages are also not synced by the currently running data
integrity sync. We will end up with dirty pages although sync is completed.
This could cause a potential data loss when the sync call is followed by a
truncate_pagecache call, which is exactly the case in collapse_range.
(It will cause generic/127 failure in xfstests)
To avoid this issue, we can use set_page_writeback_keepwrite instead of
set_page_writeback, which doesn't clear TOWRITE tag.

Changelog
v3:
- define test_set_page_writeback() and test_set_page_writeback_keepwrite()
as calls to __test_set_page_writeback(page, keep_write)
v2:
- As Jan Kara suggested, Create set_page_writeback_keepwrite which doesn't
clear TOWRITE tag.
