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

Flag FS_XFLAG_ATOMICWRITES is added as an enabling flag for atomic writes.

XFS can be formatted for atomic writes as follows:
mkfs.xfs  -i atomicwrites=1 -b size=16384 /dev/sda

Support can be enabled through xfs_io command:
$xfs_io -c "chattr +W" filename
$xfs_io -c "lsattr -v" filename
[atomic-writes] filename
$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
...

Dependence on forcealign is gone for the moment. This means that we can
only write a single FS block atomically. Since we can now have FS block
size > PAGE_SIZE for XFS, we can write atomically write 4K+ blocks on
x86.

Using the large FS block size has downsides, so we still want the
forcealign feature.

Baseline is v6.12-rc1

Basic xfsprogs support at:

Patches for this series can be found at:
https://github.com/johnpgarry/linux/tree/atomic-writes-v6.12-fs-v7

Changes since v6:
- Add iomap documentation update (Darrick)
- Drop reflink restriction (Darrick, Christoph)
- Catch XFS buffered IO fallback (Darrick)
- Check IOCB_DIRECT in generic_atomic_write_valid()
- Tweaks to coding style (Darrick)
- Add RB tags from Darrick and Christoph (thanks!)

Changes since v5:
- Drop forcealign dependency
- Can support atomically writing a single FS block
- XFS_DIFLAG2_ATOMICWRITES is inherited from parent directories
- Add RB tags from Darrick (thanks!)

  fs: iomap: Atomic write support
  xfs: Support FS_XFLAG_ATOMICWRITES
  xfs: Support atomic write for statx
  xfs: Validate atomic writes
  xfs: Support setting FMODE_CAN_ATOMIC_WRITE
