4.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> commit 54a4ef8af4e0dc5c983d17fcb9cf5fd25666d94e upstream. We currently fall back from direct to buffered writes if we detect a remaining shared extent in the iomap_begin callback. But by the time iomap_begin is called for the potentially unaligned end block we might have already written most of the data to disk, which we'd now write again using buffered I/O. To avoid this reject all writes to reflinked files before starting I/O so that we are guaranteed to only write the data once. The alternative would be to unshare the unaligned start and/or end block before doing the I/O. I think that's doable, and will actually be required to support reflinks on DAX file system. But it will take a little more time and I'd rather get rid of the double write ASAP.
