oh, ok. Ignore that comment, then. :)

Anyone working on an iomap port while this patchset is in progress may or may not remember to add this bit if they get their port merged after atomicwrites is merged; and you might not remember to prevent the bitrot if the reverse order happens.Sure, I get your point. However, OTOH, if we check xfs_bmbt_to_iomap(), it does set all or close to all members of struct iomap, so we are just continuing that trend, i.e. it is the job of the FS callback to set all these members.quoted

<nod> You can only play with the mapping that the fs gave you. If xfs doesn't give you a big enough mapping, then that's a programming bug to WARN_ON_ONCE about and return EIO. I hadn't realized that the ->iomap_begin function is required to provide mappings that are aligned to io_block_size.

I'm not sure what "io block zeroing" means.Naming is hard. Essentally we are trying to reuse the sub-fs block zeroing code for sub-extent granule writes. More below.
Yeah. For sub-fsblock zeroing we issue (chained) bios to write zeroes to the sectors surrounding the part we're actually writing, then we're issuing the write itself, and finally the ioend converts the mapping to unwritten. For untorn writes we're doing the same thing, but now on the level of multiple fsblocks. I guess this is all going to support a <nod> "IO granularity" ? For untorn writes I guess you want mappings that are aligned to a supported untorn write granularity; for bs > ps filesystems I guess the IO granularity is

What are you trying to accomplish here? Let's say the fsblock size is 4k and the allocation unit (aka the atomic write size) is 16k.ok, so I say here that the extent granule is 16kquoted
Userspace wants a direct write to file offset 8192-12287, and that space is unwritten: uuuu ^ Currently we'd just write the 4k and run the io completion handler, so the final state is: uuWu Instead, if the fs sets io_block_size to 16384, does this direct write now amplify into a full 16k write?Yes, but only when the extent is newly allocated and we require zeroing.quoted
With the end result being: ZZWZYesquoted
only.... I don't see the unwritten areas being converted to written?See xfs_iomap_write_unwritten() change in the next patchquoted
I guess for an atomic write you'd require the user to write 0-16383?Not exactlyquoted
<still confused about why we need to do this, maybe i'll figure it out as I go along>This zeroing is just really required for atomic writes. The purpose is to zero the extent granule for any write within a newly allocated granule. Consider we have uuWu, above. If the user then attempts to write the full 16K as an atomic write, the iomap iter code would generate writes for sizes 8k, 4k, and 4k, i.e. not a single 16K write. This is not acceptable. So the idea is to zero the full extent granule when allocated, so we have ZZWZ after the 4k write at offset 8192, above. As such, if we then attempt this 16K atomic write, we get a single 16K BIO, i.e. there is no unwritten extent conversion.
Wait, are we issuing zeroing writes for 0-8191 and 12288-16383, then issuing a single atomic write for 0-16383? That won't work, because all the bios attached to an iomap_dio are submitted and execute asynchronously. I think you need ->iomap_begin to do XFS_BMAPI_ZERO allocations if the writes aren't aligned to the minimum untorn write granularity.
I am not sure if we should be doing this only for atomic writes inodes, or also forcealign only or RT.
I think it only applies to untorn writes because the default behavior everywhere is is that writes can tear. --D
