iomap complete routine can deadlock with btrfs_fallocate because of the
call to generic_write_sync().

inode_lock() fallocate(FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE)

inode_dio_end() is used to notify the end of DIO data in order
to synchronize with truncate. Call inode_dio_end() before calling
generic_write_sync(), so filesystems can lock i_rwsem during a sync.
This matches the way it is done in fs/direct-io.c:dio_complete().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
