This caught my eye because why wouldn't we be able to unlink a file
whose block map is immutable? Link count has "nothing" to do with that.

:)

Hmm... I guess the reasoning here is that if we're IOMAP_IMMUTABLE'd,
we're not allowed to touch the link count since (we assume) nobody's
who's interested in *inode is going to call fsync on it to flush the
metadata to disk?

If that's the case, then shouldn't there be a corresponding may_create
check to prevent us from linking a file into a directory?

(I don't really see why link/unlink shouldn't be allowed...)

If it's a (regular allocation) or (unshare blocks) fallocate call, we
could return zero immediately since no writes will be able to hit
ENOSPC because we know that the block mappings are there and no CoW is
required.

I've been wondering in the back of my head if we could allow a
size-extending FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE here that would fsync at the end?
The use case I had in mind was extending files without having to turn
off the IOMAP_IMMUTABLE flag, since (in theory, anyway) we'd bzero() the
memory and then increase i_size, so userspace should never be able to
access storage that isn't totally finalized.

OTOH that also seems like a huge weird loophole in IOMAP_IMMUTABLE, so
maybe everyone would prefer to shoot down this use case now?

Someone's going to have to audit more of the XFS ioctls to make sure
that none of them can touch the block mapping, but as this is an RFC it
doesn't need to be done right this instant.

Writes past the end get truncated to stop at EOF? I'd have thought that
would be an error since userspace is asking for metadata updates it
previously said it would never need...
