[PATCH v4 07/22] xfs: make EOF allocation simpler

John Garry
2024-06-07T14:40:20Z

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

Currently the allocation at EOF is broken into two cases - when the
offset is zero and when the offset is non-zero. When the offset is
non-zero, we try to do exact block allocation for contiguous
extent allocation. When the offset is zero, the allocation is simply
an aligned allocation.

We want aligned allocation as the fallback when exact block
allocation fails, but that complicates the EOF allocation in that it
now has to handle two different allocation cases. The
caller also has to handle allocation when not at EOF, and for the
upcoming forced alignment changes we need that to also be aligned
allocation.

To simplify all this, pull the aligned allocation cases back into
the callers and leave the EOF allocation path for exact block
allocation only. This means that the EOF exact block allocation
fallback path is the normal aligned allocation path and that ends up
making things a lot simpler when forced alignment is introduced.
