Now that iomap supports a mechanism to validate cached iomaps for buffered write operations, hook it up to the XFS buffered write ops so that we can avoid data corruptions that result from stale cached iomaps. See: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-xfs/20220817093627.GZ3600936@dread.disaster.area/ or the ->iomap_valid() introduction commit for exact details of the corruption vector. The validity cookie we store in the iomap is based on the type of iomap we return. It is expected that the iomap->flags we set in xfs_bmbt_to_iomap() is not perturbed by the iomap core and are returned to us in the iomap passed via the .iomap_valid() callback. This ensures that the validity cookie is always checking the correct inode fork sequence numbers to detect potential changes that affect the extent cached by the iomap.

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.
