[RFC PATCH v3 18/26] ext4: implement buffered write iomap path

From: Zhang Yi
Date: Fri Jan 26 2024 - 21:10:00 EST


From: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@xxxxxxxxxx>

Implement buffered write iomap path, use ext4_da_map_blocks() to map
delalloc extents and add ext4_iomap_get_blocks() to allocate blocks if
delalloc is disabled or free space is about to run out.

Note that we don't want to support dioread_lock mount option any more,
so we drop the branch of ext4_should_dioread_nolock() and always
allocate unwritten extents for new blocks, also make
ext4_should_dioread_nolock() not controlled by the DIOREAD_NOLOCK mount
option and always return true. Besides, the i_disksize updating is also
postponed to after writeback.

After this, now we map or allocate batch of blocks once a time, so it
should be able to bring a lot of performance gains.
