Subject: [PATCH v2 00/10] xfs/iomap: fix non-atomic clone operation and don't update size when zeroing range post eof

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

Changes since v1:
 - Make xfs_bmapi_convert_delalloc() to allocate the target offset and
   drop the writeback helper xfs_convert_blocks().
 - Don't use xfs_iomap_write_direct() to convert delalloc blocks for
   zeroing posteof case, use xfs_bmapi_convert_delalloc() instead.
 - Fix two off-by-one issues when converting delalloc blocks.
 - Add a separate patch to drop the buffered write failure handle in
   zeroing and unsharing.
 - Add a comments do emphasize updating i_size should under folio lock.
 - Make iomap_write_end() to return a boolean, and do some cleanups in
   buffered write begin path.

This patch series fix a problem of exposing zeroed data on xfs since the
non-atomic clone operation. This problem was found while I was
developing ext4 buffered IO iomap conversion (ext4 is relying on this
fix [1]), the root cause of this problem and the discussion about the
solution please see [2]. After fix the problem, iomap_zero_range()
doesn't need to update i_size so that ext4 can use it to zero partial
block, e.g. truncate eof block [3].

Thanks,

Zhang Yi (10):
  xfs: match lock mode in xfs_buffered_write_iomap_begin()
  xfs: allow xfs_bmapi_convert_delalloc() to pass NULL seq
  xfs: make xfs_bmapi_convert_delalloc() to allocate the target offset
  xfs: drop xfs_convert_blocks()
  xfs: convert delayed extents to unwritten when zeroing post eof blocks
  iomap: drop the write failure handles when unsharing and zeroing
  iomap: don't increase i_size if it's not a write operation
  iomap: use a new variable to handle the written bytes in
    iomap_write_iter()
  iomap: make block_write_end() return a boolean
  iomap: do some small logical cleanup in buffered write
