Yes.

This seems to be a better solution. I'll try in this way. Thanks for your guidance.

It just handles the end part of CoW here.
xfs_dio_write_end_io() also updates file size, which is only needed in write() but not in page fault. And the update file size work is done in xfs_dax_file_write(), it's fine, no need to modify it.

Sure. Thanks.
