When direct I/O completions invalidates the page cache it holds neither the i_rwsem nor the invalidate_lock so it can be racing with iomap_write_delalloc_release. If the search for the end of the region that contains data returns the start offset we hit such a race and just need to look for the end of the newly created hole instead.
