Yes -- if you have a mix of written and unwritten blocks for the same
chunk of physical space:

0      7
WUWUWUWU

the directio ioend function will start four separate transactions to
convert blocks 1, 3, 5, and 7 to written status.  If the system crashes
midway through, they will see this afterwards:

WWWWW0W0

IOWs, although the *disk write* was completed successfully, the mapping
updates were torn, and the user program sees a torn write.

The most performant/painful way to fix this would be to make the whole
ioend completion a logged operation so that we could commit to updating
all the unwritten mappings and restart it after a crash.

The least performant of course is to write zeroes at allocation time,
like we do for fsdax.

A possible middle ground would be to detect IOMAP_ATOMIC in the
->iomap_begin method, notice that there are mixed mappings under the
proposed untorn IO, and pre-convert the unwritten blocks by writing
zeroes to disk and updating the mappings before handing the one single
mapping back to iomap_dio_rw to stage the untorn writes bio.  At least
you'd only be suffering that penalty for the (probable) corner case of
someone creating mixed mappings.

I'd leave the bi_write_hint and bi_ioprio initialization out of the
common function.
