In cases of an atomic write occurs for misaligned or discontiguous disk
blocks, we will use a CoW-based method to issue the atomic write.

So, for that case, return -EAGAIN to request that the write be issued in
CoW atomic write mode. The dio write path should detect this, similar to
how misaligned regalar DIO writes are handled.

For normal HW-based mode, when the range which we are atomic writing to
covers a shared data extent, try to allocate a new CoW fork. However, if
we find that what we allocated does not meet atomic write requirements
in terms of length and alignment, then fallback on the CoW-based mode
for the atomic write.

I'm ok with this.

But we do have other private functions without "xfs" prefix - like imap_needs_cow(), so a bit inconsistent to begin with.

When does offset_fsb change?

It doesn't, so this is not really required.

Set this in the variable declaration?

ok

Yes, will change.

"Get a CoW fork"?  What does that mean?  The cow fork should be
automatically allocated when needed, right?  Or should this really read
"...when we don't get a COW mapping"?

ok, I can change as you suggest

Can this be a separate ->iomap_begin (and hence iomap ops)?  I am trying
to avoid the incohesion (still) plaguing most of the other iomap users.

I can try, and would then need to try to factor out what would be much duplicated code.

You only need to indent by two more tabs for a continuation line.

ok

Thanks,
