[PATCH 030/102] xfs: remove the i_new_size field in struct xfs_inode

[Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com>]

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>

Upstream commit: 2813d682e8e6a278f94817429afd46b30875bb6e

Now that we use the VFS i_size field throughout XFS there is no need for the
i_new_size field any more given that the VFS i_size field gets updated
in ->write_end before unlocking the page, and thus is always uptodate when
writeback could see a page.  Removing i_new_size also has the advantage that
we will never have to trim back di_size during a failed buffered write,
given that it never gets updated past i_size.

Note that currently the generic direct I/O code only updates i_size after
calling our end_io handler, which requires a small workaround to make
sure di_size actually makes it to disk.  I hope to fix this properly in
the generic code.

A downside is that we lose the support for parallel non-overlapping O_DIRECT
appending writes that recently was added.  I don't think keeping the complex
and fragile i_new_size infrastructure for this is a good tradeoff - if we
really care about parallel appending writers we should investigate turning
the iolock into a range lock, which would also allow for parallel
non-overlapping buffered writers.
