[PATCH] xfs: Do not fallback to buffered-io for DIO atomic write

From: Ritesh Harjani (IBM)
Date: Fri Oct 25 2024 - 14:18:32 EST


iomap can return -ENOTBLK if pagecache invalidation fails.
Let's make sure if -ENOTBLK is ever returned for atomic
writes than we fail the write request (-EIO) instead of
fallback to buffered-io.

This should be on top of John's atomic write series [1].
