Subject: [PATCH 01/10] ext4: write out dirty data before dropping pages

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

Current zero range, punch hole and collapse range have a common
potential data loss problem. In general, ext4_zero_range(),
ext4_collapse_range() and ext4_punch_hold() will discard all page cache
of the operation range before converting the extents status. However,
the first two functions don't write back dirty data before discarding
page cache, and ext4_punch_hold() write back at the very beginning
without holding i_rwsem and mapping invalidate lock. Hence, if some bad
things (e.g. EIO or ENOMEM) happens just after dropping dirty page
cache, the operation will failed but the user's valid data in the dirty
page cache will be lost. Fix this by write all dirty data under i_rwsem
and mapping invalidate lock before discarding pages.
