Note that I haven't applied this patch, or attempted to compile it
yet....

... because I'll have to jump through hoops to get it to compile, I
think.

Even on error I think we should bump this. Errors can come from
secondary superblock updates after the filesystem has been grown,
hence an error is not a reliable indication of whether the layout
has changed or not.

What purpose does the offset serve here? I can't tell from the usage
in the PNFS code. Can we ignore offset - as it seems entirely
arbitrary - and still have this work? Either way, comment please.

I'd like to see a IOMAP_NULL_BLOCK define here for the -1 value,
say:

#define IOMAP_NULL_BLOCK	-1LL

OK, so we are not mapping realtime inodes here. Any specific reason?
FWIW, that also means you can use XFS_FSB_TO_DADDR() in the iomap
mapping as xfs_fsb_to_db() is only needed if we might be mapping
realtime extents...

The concern I have about this is that extending the file size can
expose uninitialised blocks beyond the old EOF. That can happen if
delayed allocation has previously been done on the file and we
haven't trimmed the excess beyond EOF back yet. I know the pnfs
server is not aimed at mixed usage, but it still makes me
uncomfortable in the case where you have normal NFS and PNFS clients
accessing the same files...

I just had a thought about these sync transctions - could the NFS
server handle persistence of the maps via ->commit_metadata?

Cheers,

Dave.
