  et4: allow zeroout when doing written to unwritten split (2026-01-23 16:50:11 -0500)

----------------------------------------------------------------
New features and improvements for the ext4 file system

  * Avoid unnecessary cache invadiation in the extent status cache
    (es_cache) when adding extents to be cached in the es_cache and we
    are not changing the extent tree.
  * Add a sysfs parameter, err_report_sec, to control how frequently
    to log a warning message that file system inconsistency has been
    detected.  (Previously we logged the warning message every 24
    hours.)
  * Avoid unnecessary forced ordered writes when appending to a file
    when delayed allocation is enabled.
  * Defer splitting unwritten extents to I/O completion to improve
    write performance of concurrent direct I/O writes to multiple
    files.
  * Refactor and add kunit tests to the extent splitting and
    conversion code paths.

Various Bug Fixes

  * Fix a panic when the debugging DOUBLE_CHECK macro is defined.
  * Avoid using fast commit for rare and complex file system
    operations to make fast commit easier to reason about.  This can
    also avoid some corner cases that could result in file system
    inconsistency if there is a crash between the fast commit before a
    subsequent full commit.
  * Fix memory leaks in error paths
  * Fix a false positive reports caused when running stress tests
    using mixed huge-page workloads caused by a race between page
    migration and bitmap updates.
  * Fix a potential recursion into file system reclaim when evicting
    an inode when fast commit is enabled.
  * Fix a warning caused by a potential double decrement to the dirty
    clusters counter when executing FS_IOC_SHUTDOWN when running a
    stress test.
  * Enable mballoc optimzied scanning regardless whether the inode is
    using indirect blocks or extent trees to map blocks.
