I think it would help with understandability if you'd pasted the ascii
art from the previous thread(s) into this commit message:

"The problem is about preallocations.  If you write some data into a
file:

	[A...B)

and XFS decides to preallocate some post-eof blocks, then it can create
a delayed allocation reservation:

	[A.........D)

The writeback path tries to convert delayed extents to real ones by
allocating blocks.  If there aren't enough contiguous free space, we can
end up with two extents, the first real and the second still delalloc:

	[A....C)[C.D)

After that, both the in-memory and the on-disk file sizes are still B.
If we clone into the range [E...F) from another file:

	[A....C)[C.D)      [E...F)

then xfs_reflink_zero_posteof calls iomap_zero_range to zero out the
range [B, E) beyond EOF and flush it.  Since [C, D) is still a delalloc
extent, its pagecache will be zeroed and both the in-memory and on-disk
size will be updated to D after flushing but before cloning.  This is
wrong, because the user can see the size change and read the zeroes
while the clone operation is ongoing."

"...and invalidate any cached data..."

"Trim a delalloc extent that extends beyond the EOF block.  If it starts
beyond the EOF block, convert it to an unwritten extent."

Either indent this two tabs (XFS style), or make the second line of
arguments line up with the start of the arguments on the first line
(kernel style).
