The detailed report on the issues faced and the root cause can be found in the commit message. I've intentionally added all the details to commit message so that it can be tracked in the future, let me know if its too long and I can try stripping some info. For this particular fix, I've tested these patches with xfstests -g quick with: - 64k block size, 64k pagesize - 4k blocksize 64k pagesize - both with and without nodelalloc and I don't see any regressions. I'll plan to run more tests on this and report back if I notice anything. Suggestions or ideas are welcome.
