/*
* Copy on Write of Shared Blocks
*
* XFS must preserve "the usual" file semantics even when two files share
* the same physical blocks. This means that a write to one file must not
* alter the blocks in a different file; the way that we'll do that is
* through the use of a copy-on-write mechanism. At a high level, that
* means that when we want to write to a shared block, we allocate a new
* block, write the data to the new block, and if that succeeds we map the
* new block into the file.
*
* XFS provides a "delayed allocation" mechanism that defers the allocation
* of disk blocks to dirty-but-not-yet-mapped file blocks as long as
* possible. This reduces fragmentation by enabling the filesystem to ask
* for bigger chunks less often, which is exactly what we want for CoW.
*
* The delalloc mechanism begins when the kernel wants to make a block
* writable (write_begin or page_mkwrite). If the offset is not mapped, we
* create a delalloc mapping, which is a regular in-core extent, but without
* a real startblock. (For delalloc mappings, the startblock encodes both
* a flag that this is a delalloc mapping, and a worst-case estimate of how
* many blocks might be required to put the mapping into the BMBT.) delalloc
* mappings are a reservation against the free space in the filesystem;
* adjacent mappings can also be combined into fewer larger mappings.
*
* When dirty pages are being written out (typically in writepage), the
* delalloc reservations are converted into real mappings by allocating
* blocks and replacing the delalloc mapping with real ones. A delalloc
* mapping can be replaced by several real ones if the free space is
* fragmented.
*
* We want to adapt the delalloc mechanism for copy-on-write, since the
* write paths are similar. The first two steps (creating the reservation
* and allocating the blocks) are exactly the same as delalloc except that
* the mappings must be stored in a separate CoW fork because we do not want
* to disturb the mapping in the data fork until we're sure that the write
* succeeded. IO completion in this case is the process of removing the old
* mapping from the data fork and moving the new mapping from the CoW fork to
* the data fork. This will be discussed shortly.
*
* For now, unaligned directio writes will be bounced back to the page cache.
* Block-aligned directio writes will use the same mechanism as buffered
* writes.
*
* CoW remapping must be done after the data block write completes,
* because we don't want to destroy the old data fork map until we're sure
* the new block has been written. Since the new mappings are kept in a
* separate fork, we can simply iterate these mappings to find the ones
* that cover the file blocks that we just CoW'd. For each extent, simply
* unmap the corresponding range in the data fork, map the new range into
* the data fork, and remove the extent from the CoW fork.
*
* Since the remapping operation can be applied to an arbitrary file
* range, we record the need for the remap step as a flag in the ioend
* instead of declaring a new IO type. This is required for direct io
* because we only have ioend for the whole dio, and we have to be able to
* remember the presence of unwritten blocks and CoW blocks with a single
* ioend structure. Better yet, the more ground we can cover with one
* ioend, the better.
