[PATCH v8 0/7] block atomic writes for xfs

[John Garry <john.g.garry@oracle.com>]

This series expands atomic write support to filesystems, specifically
XFS.

Initially we will only support writing exactly 1x FS block atomically.

Since we can now have FS block size > PAGE_SIZE for XFS, we can write
atomically write 4K+ blocks on x86.

No special per-inode flag is required for enabling writing 1x F block.
In future, to support writing more than one FS block atomically, a new FS
XFLAG flag may then introduced - like FS_XFLAG_BIG_ATOMICWRITES. This
would depend on a feature like forcealign.

So if we format the FS for 16K FS block size:
mkfs.xfs -b size=16384 /dev/sda

The statx reports atomic write unit min/max = FS block size:
$xfs_io -c statx filename
...
stat.stx_atomic_write_unit_min = 16384
stat.stx_atomic_write_unit_max = 16384
stat.stx_atomic_write_segments_max = 1
...

Baseline is 77bfe1b11ea0 (tag: xfs-6.12-fixes-3, xfs/xfs-6.12-fixesC,
xfs/for-next) xfs: fix a typo

John Garry (7):
  block/fs: Pass an iocb to generic_atomic_write_valid()
  fs/block: Check for IOCB_DIRECT in generic_atomic_write_valid()
  fs: Export generic_atomic_write_valid()
  fs: iomap: Atomic write support
  xfs: Support atomic write for statx
  xfs: Validate atomic writes
  xfs: Support setting FMODE_CAN_ATOMIC_WRITE
