Christoph Hellwig 60271ab79d xfs: fix SEEK_DATA for speculative COW fork preallocation
We speculatively allocate extents in the COW fork to reduce
fragmentation.  But when we write data into such COW fork blocks that
do now shadow an allocation in the data fork SEEK_DATA will not
correctly report it, as it only looks at the data fork extents.
The only reason why that hasn't been an issue so far is because
we even use these speculative COW fork preallocations over holes in
the data fork at all for buffered writes, and blocks in the COW
fork that are written by direct writes are moved into the data
fork immediately at I/O completion time.

Add a new set of iomap_ops for SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA which looks into
both the COW and data fork, and reports all COW extents as unwritten
to the iomap layer.  While this isn't strictly true for COW fork
extents that were already converted to real extents, the practical
semantics that you can't read data from them until they are moved
into the data fork are very similar, and this will force the iomap
layer into probing the extents for actually present data.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
