btrfs needs to account for the bytes "processed", failed or
uptodate. This is currently performed in
fs/btrfs/inode.c:__end_write_update_ordered().
For the current development version, how I am using it is in my git
branch btrfs-iomap-dio [1]. The related commit besides this patch
is:
9aeb2b31d10b ("btrfs: Use ->iomap_end() instead of btrfs_dio_data")
