Re: [PATCH v6 27/31] ext4: set DISKSIZE_GROW_PENDING after zeroing unaligned EOF block

[sashiko-bot@kernel.org]

> From: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@huawei.com>
> 
> In the iomap buffered I/O path, data=ordered mode is not used, so the
> zeroed EOF block has no implicit ordering with later i_disksize updates.
> Without the pending state being set, i_disksize can be advanced past the
> zeroed block before writeback completes, exposing stale data after a
> crash.

> Previous patches added the consumer side of the
> disksize-grow-pending mechanism: the state bit, clear and wait helpers,
> and ioend tagging. Now add ext4_iomap_mark_disksize_pending() and call
> it from ext4_block_zero_eof() after zeroing the tail of the block that
> straddles i_disksize.

> The helper locks the folio, waits for any in-flight writeback on it to
