f2fs_write_begin() assumes that all blocks were preallocated by
default unless FI_NO_PREALLOC is explicitly set.  This invites data
corruption, as there are cases in which not all blocks are preallocated.
Commit 47501f87c61a ("f2fs: preallocate DIO blocks when forcing
buffered_io") fixed one case, but there are others remaining.

Could you please explain which cases we missed to handle previously?
then I can check those related logic before and after the rework.

-			if (!f2fs_force_buffered_io(inode, iocb, from) &&
-					f2fs_lfs_mode(F2FS_I_SB(inode)))

We should keep this OPU DIO logic, otherwise, in lfs mode, write dio
will always allocate two block addresses for each 4k append IO.

I jsut test based on codes of last f2fs dev-test branch.

rm /mnt/f2fs/dio
dd if=/dev/zero  of=/mnt/f2fs/dio bs=4k count=4 oflag=direct
