Hmmm. I've got patches that change all these XFS interfaces to
support range locks. I'm not sure the way the ranges are passed here
is the best way to do it, and I suspect they aren't correct in some
cases, either....

This isn't right - truncate up still needs to break the layout on
the last filesystem block of the file, and truncate down needs to
extend to "maximum file offset" because we remove all extents beyond
EOF on a truncate down.

i.e. when we use preallocation, the extent map extends beyond EOF,
and layout leases need to be able to extend beyond the current EOF
to allow the lease owner to do extending writes, extending truncate,
preallocation beyond EOF, etc safely without having to get a new
lease to cover the new region in the extended file...

Cheers,

Dave.
