When we allocate COW fork blocks for direct I/O writes we currently first create a delayed allocation, and then convert it to a real allocation once we've got the delayed one. As there is no good reason for that this patch instead makes use call xfs_bmapi_write from the COW allocation path. The only interesting bits are a few tweaks the low-level allocator to allow for this, most notably the need to remove the call to xfs_bmap_extsize_align for the cowextsize in xfs_bmap_btalloc - for the existing convert case it's a no-op, but for the direct allocation case it would blow up our block reservation way beyond what we reserved for the transaction.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
