[ Upstream commit a5949d3faedf492fa7863b914da408047ab46eb0 ]

When writing to a delalloc region in the data fork, commit the new
allocations (of the da reservation) as unwritten so that the mappings
are only marked written once writeback completes successfully.  This
fixes the problem of stale data exposure if the system goes down during
targeted writeback of a specific region of a file, as tested by
generic/042.

Err, this doesn't have a Fixes: tag attached to it.  Does it pass
fstests?  Because it doesn't look like you've pulled in "xfs: don't fail
unwritten extent conversion on writeback due to edquot", which is needed
to avoid regressing fstests...

...waitaminute, that whole series lacks Fixes: tags because it wasn't
considered a good enough candidate for automatic backport.

AUTOSEL doesn't look just at the Fixes tag :)

Ummm, does the autosel fstests driver turn on quotas? ;)

Uh, apparently not :/ Is it okay to just enable it across all tests?

While I go fix that up, would you rather drop the series, or pick up
1edd2c055dff ("xfs: don't fail unwritten extent conversion on writeback
due to edquot")?`
