[PATCH v2 00/13] ext4: replace ext4_es_insert_extent() when caching on-disk extents

[Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@huaweicloud.com>]

Changes since v1:
 - Rebase the codes based on the latest linux-next 20251120.
 - Add patches 01-05, fix two stale data problems caused by
   EXT4_EXT_MAY_ZEROOUT when splitting extent.
 - Add patches 06-07, fix two stale extent status entries problems also
   caused by splitting extent.
 - Modify patches 08-10, extend __es_remove_extent() and
   ext4_es_cache_extent() to allow them to overwrite existing extents of
   the same status when caching on-disk extents, while also checking
   extents of different stauts and raising alarms to prevent misuse.
 - Add patch 13 to clear the usage of ext4_es_insert_extent(), and
   remove the TODO comment in it.

Original Description

This series addresses the optimization that Jan pointed out [1]
regarding the introduction of a sequence number to
ext4_es_insert_extent(). The proposal is to replace all instances where
the cache of on-disk extents is updated by using ext4_es_cache_extent()
instead of ext4_es_insert_extent(). This change can prevent excessive
cache invalidations caused by unnecessarily increasing the extent
sequence number when reading from the on-disk extent tree.

Cheers,
Yi.
