Hi Jeff,

sorry for the delay getting back to this - last week has been very busy
for me.

Can you send your actual test cases to the list?  Preferably wired up
to xfstests, and also verified against btrfs and ocfs2 which already
have the feature.

It's probably fairly hard to hit, as you'd need a relatively slow device
to hit it reliably.  Doing a sync_file_range call with
SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE as the flags argument just before the lseek call
probably is the best way to get it.

I don't think this is correct.  Even if we have dirty pages we migt have
writeback pages at an lower index.  Given that the we can't look for
multiple tags at the same time it seems like we need a normal pagecache
lookup and iterate over all pages.  Later we could optimize this by
adding a multiple tag lookup helper, but let's get the code functional
for now.  Btw, did you look what btrfs and ocfs2 do here?

Remove the "In XFS" - this is XFS code so that part is redudant.

XFS_EXT_UNWRITTEN do not need to have data at all, in fact they most
likely don't.  So I'd reword this to:

An extent in XFS_EXT_UNWRITTEN has disk blocks already mapped to it, but
no data has been commiteed to them yet.  If it has dirty data in the
pagecache it can be identified by having BH_Unwritten set in each
buffer.

I'd move the check after acquiring the lock just to be sure.

It seems like the hole handling is the same for this case and what we
handle below.

I'd move the check after acquiring the lock just to be sure.

Hmm - this misses the unwritten cases that we handle in SEEK_DATA.  But
if we want to handle it we probably can't use the simple
xfs_bmap_first_unused call that Dave suggested but need to use the
xfs_bmapi_read loop, too.

Sorry for not finding this earlier.
