Hi all,

this series adds the always_cow mode support after improving our COW
write support a little bit first.

The always_cow mode stresses the COW path a lot, but with a few xfstests
fixups it generall looks good, except for a few tests that complain about
fragmentation, which is rather inherent in this mode, and xfs/326 which
inserts error tags into the COW path not getting the expected result.

Changes since v2:
 - add a patch to remove xfs_trim_extent_eof
 - add a patch to remove the separate io_type and rely on existing state
   in the writeback path
 - rework the truncate race handling in the writeback path a little more

Changes since v1:
 - make delalloc and unwritten extent conversions simpler and more robust
 - add a few additional cleanups
 - support all fallocate modes but actual preallocation
 - rebase on top of a fix from Brian (which is included as first patch
   to make the patch set more usable)

Hi all,

this series adds the always_cow mode support after improving our COW
write support a little bit first.

Note that I'm mostly reposting this to get visibility for the core
fixes and improvements.  The actual always COW patch, which is last
in the series still has outstanding feedback I need to address.

The always_cow mode stresses the COW path a lot, but with a few xfstests
fixups it generall looks good, except for a few tests that complain about
fragmentation, which is rather inherent in this mode, and xfs/326 which
inserts error tags into the COW path not getting the expected result.

Changes since v3:
 - spelling fixes
 - improve argument naming and add a comment in xfs_reflink_allocate_cow
 - trace the COW imap if allocating COW blocks
 - collect a few reviewed-by tags from Darrick

Changes since v2:
 - add a patch to remove xfs_trim_extent_eof
 - add a patch to remove the separate io_type and rely on existing state
   in the writeback path
 - rework the truncate race handling in the writeback path a little more

Changes since v1:
 - make delalloc and unwritten extent conversions simpler and more robust
 - add a few additional cleanups
 - support all fallocate modes but actual preallocation
 - rebase on top of a fix from Brian (which is included as first patch
   to make the patch set more usable)
