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.
