Hi Christoph,

thanks for this patch, and sorry for taking so long to react.

I like the idea, but the patch as is doesn't quite work: iomap_dio_rw
already bumps iocb->ki_pos, so we end up with the wrong value by
adding the (direct + buffered) write size again.
We'd probably also be better served by replacing
filemap_write_and_wait_range with generic_write_sync + IOCB_DSYNC in
the buffered fallback case. I'll send an update that you'll hopefully
like.
