This patch series fix a problem of exposing zeroed data on xfs since the
non-atomic clone operation. This problem was found while I was
developing ext4 buffered IO iomap conversion (ext4 is relying on this
fix [1]), the root cause of this problem and the discussion about the
solution please see [2]. After fix the problem, iomap_zero_range()
doesn't need to update i_size so that ext4 can use it to zero partial
block, e.g. truncate eof block [3].

Thanks,

Zhang Yi (4):
xfs: match lock mode in xfs_buffered_write_iomap_begin()
xfs: convert delayed extents to unwritten when zeroing post eof blocks
iomap: don't increase i_size if it's not a write operation
iomap: cleanup iomap_write_iter()
