Add initial support for new flag FS_XFLAG_ATOMICWRITES for forcealign
enabled.

This flag is a file attribute that mirrors an ondisk inode flag. Actual
support for untorn file writes (for now) depends on both the iflag and the
underlying storage devices, which we can only really check at statx and
pwritev2() time. This is the same story as FS_XFLAG_DAX, which signals to
the fs that we should try to enable the fsdax IO path on the file (instead
of the regular page cache), but applications have to query STAT_ATTR_DAX to
find out if they really got that IO path.

Current kernel support for atomic writes is based on HW support (for atomic
writes). As such, it is required to ensure extent alignment with
atomic_write_unit_max so that an atomic write can result in a single
HW-compliant IO operation.

rtvol also guarantees extent alignment, but we are basing support initially
on forcealign, which is not supported for rtvol yet.

Do you ever see test failures in xfs/270?

Well it wasn't with forcealign only. I'll check again for atomic writes.

Can this multiplication trigger integer overflows?

I should just use xfs_inode_alloc_unitsize()


+ ip->i_diflags2 &= ~XFS_DIFLAG2_ATOMICWRITES;

Ondisk iflag updates must use transactions.

I want to change this.

The idea was to runtime clear this flag in case the bdev cannot satisfy the FS atomic write range, but that does not work.


Or you can fail IOCB_ATOMIC writes if XFS_DIFLAG2_ATOMICWRITES is set
but the forcealign blocksize doesn't fit with awu_min/max.

I'd rather just not set FMODE_CAN_ATOMIC_WRITE

IIRC m_dalign and m_swidth can be set at mount time,

I thought that these were fixed at mkfs time, however I see that the comment for xfs_update_alignment() mentions "values based on mount options". And we are reading mp values, and not sbp values, which is a good clue...

which can result in
inode verifiers logging corruption errors if those parameters change. I
think we should validate these two congruencies when setting
FMODE_CAN_ATOMIC_WRITE.

That would make sense.
