ocfs2: fix sparse file & data ordering issue in direct io
There are mainly three issues in the direct io code path after commit
24c40b329e03 ("ocfs2: implement ocfs2_direct_IO_write"):
* Does not support sparse file.
* Does not support data ordering. eg: when write to a file hole, it
will alloc extent first. If system crashed before io finished, data
will corrupt.
* Potential risk when doing aio+dio. The -EIOCBQUEUED return value is
likely to be ignored by ocfs2_direct_IO_write().
To resolve above problems, re-design direct io code with following ideas:
* Use buffer io to fill in holes. And this will make better
performance also.
* Clear unwritten after direct write finished. So we can make sure
meta data changes after data write to disk. (Unwritten extent is
invisible to user, from user's view, meta data is not changed when
allocate an unwritten extent.)
* Clear ocfs2_direct_IO_write(). Do all ending work in end_io.
This patch has passed fs,dio,ltp-aiodio.part1,ltp-aiodio.part2,ltp-aiodio.part4
test cases of ltp.
For performance improvement, see following test result:
ocfs2 cluster size 1MB, ocfs2 volume is mounted on /mnt/.
