If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Zhang Yi [ Upstream commit 43d0105e2c7523cc6b14cad65e2044e829c0a07a ] There is no need to write back all data before punching a hole in non-journaled mode since it will be dropped soon after removing space. Therefore, the call to filemap_write_and_wait_range() can be eliminated. Besides, similar to ext4_zero_range(), we must address the case of partially punched folios when block size < page size. It is essential to remove writable userspace mappings to ensure that the folio can be faulted again during subsequent mmap write access. In journaled mode, we need to write dirty pages out before discarding page cache in case of crash before committing the freeing data transaction, which could expose old, stale data, even if synchronization has been performed.
