Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 0/6] ext4: make ext4_map_blocks() recognize delalloc only extent

From: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@...wei.com>

v1->v2:
 - Fix a long standing race issue between determine hole and inserting
   new delalloc extent analyzed by Jan Kara.
 - Change method of adjusting hole length, instead of skip holes in
   ext4_map_blocks(), now we find delalloc and correct length and type
   in ext4_ext_determine_hole().

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-ext4/20231121093429.1827390-1-yi.zhang@huaweicloud.com/

Hello, all!

I'm working on switching ext4 buffer IO from buffer_head to iomap
and enable large folio on regular file recently [1] (I've been fixing a
lot of issues and should be able to send out v2 soon), this patch set
is one of a preparation of this work. It first fix a long standing race
issue between bmap querying and adding new delalloc extents, then
correct the hole length returned by ext4_map_blocks() when user querying
map type and blocks range, after that, make this function and
ext4_set_iomap() are able to distinguish delayed allocated only mapping
from hole, finally BTW cleanup the ext4_iomap_begin_report().

This preparation patch set changes the ext4 map -> iomap converting logic
in ext4_set_iomap(), so that the later buffer IO conversion can use this
helper to connect iomap frame. This patch set is already passed
'kvm-xfstests -g auto' tests.

Thanks,
Yi.
