Series ext2: DIO to use iomap | expand

Commit Message

Ritesh Harjani (IBM) April 21, 2023, 9:46 a.m. UTC 
Next patch converts ext2 to use iomap interface for DIO.
iomap layer can call generic_write_sync() -> ext2_fsync() from
iomap_dio_complete while still holding the inode_lock().

Now writeback from other paths doesn't need inode_lock().
It seems there is also no need of an inode_lock() for
sync_mapping_buffers(). It uses it's own mapping->private_lock
for it's buffer list handling.
Hence this patch is in preparation to move ext2 to iomap.
This uses generic_buffers_fsync() which does not take any inode_lock()
in ext2_fsync().
