Merge tag 'vfs-6.13.untorn.writes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull vfs untorn write support from Christian Brauner:
 "An atomic write is a write issed with torn-write protection. This
  means for a power failure or any hardware failure all or none of the
  data from the write will be stored, never a mix of old and new data.

  This work is already supported for block devices. If a block device is
  opened with O_DIRECT and the block device supports atomic write, then
  FMODE_CAN_ATOMIC_WRITE is added to the file of the opened block
  device.

  This contains the work to expand atomic write support to filesystems,
  specifically ext4 and XFS. Currently, only support for writing exactly
  one filesystem block atomically is added.

  Since it's now possible to have filesystem block size > page size for
  XFS, it's possible to write 4K+ blocks atomically on x86"

9e0933c21c fs: iomap: Atomic write support
Support direct I/O atomic writes by producing a single bio with REQ_ATOMIC
flag set.

Initially FSes (XFS) should only support writing a single FS block
atomically.

As with any atomic write, we should produce a single bio which covers the
complete write length.

caf0ea451d iomap: remove iomap_file_buffered_write_punch_delalloc
Currently iomap_file_buffered_write_punch_delalloc can be called from
XFS either with the invalidate lock held or not.  To fix this while
keeping the locking in the file system and not the iomap library
code we'll need to life the locking up into the file system.

To prepare for that, open code iomap_file_buffered_write_punch_delalloc
in the only caller, and instead export iomap_write_delalloc_release.

Documentation: the design of iomap and how to port
Capture the design of iomap and how to port filesystems to use it.
Apologies for all the rst formatting, but it's necessary to distinguish
code from regular text.

A lot of this has been collected from various email conversations, code
comments, commit messages, my own understanding of iomap, and
Ritesh/Luis' previous efforts to create a document.  Please note a large
part of this has been taken from Dave's reply to last iomap doc
patchset. Thanks to Ritesh, Luis, Dave, Darrick, Matthew, Christoph and
other iomap developers who have taken time to explain the iomap design
in various emails, commits, comments etc.
