btrfs: dio iomap DSYNC workaround
iomap dio will run generic_write_sync() for us if the iocb is DSYNC.
This is problematic for us because of 2 reasons:
1. we hold the inode_lock() during this operation, and we take it in
generic_write_sync()
2. we hold a read lock on the dio_sem but take the write lock in fsync
Since we don't want to rip out this code right now, but reworking the
locking is a bit much to do at this point, work around this problem with
this masterpiece of a patch.
First, we clear DSYNC on the iocb so that the iomap stuff doesn't know
that it needs to handle the sync. We save this fact in
current->journal_info, because we need to see do special things once
we're in iomap_begin, and we have no way to pass private information
into iomap_dio_rw().
Next we specify a separate iomap_dio_ops for sync, which implements an
->end_io() callback that gets called when the dio completes. This is
important for AIO, because we really do need to run generic_write_sync()
if we complete asynchronously. However if we're still in the submitting
context when we enter ->end_io() we clear the flag so that the submitter
knows they're the ones that needs to run generic_write_sync().
This is meant to be temporary. We need to work out how to eliminate the
inode_lock() and the dio_sem in our fsync and use another mechanism to
protect these operations.
