We should only set IOMAP_F_COW when we actually fill out the srcmap. Which is a very good agument for Darrick's suggestion to check for a non-emptry srcmap. Also this is missing the actually interesting part in xfs_file_iomap_begin_delay. I ended up spending the better half of the day trying to implement that and did run into a few bugs in the core iomap changes, mostly due to a confusion which iomap to use. So I ended up reworking those a bit to: a) check srcmap->type to see if there is a valid srcmap b) set the srcmap pointer to iomap so that it doesn't need to be special cased all over c) fixed up a few more places to use the srcmap This now at least survives xfstests -g quick on a 4k xfs file system for.
