In preparation for implementing the iomap direct I/O modifications, the inode extension/truncate code needs to be moved out from the ext4_iomap_end() callback. For direct I/O, if the current code remained, it would behave incorrrectly. Updating the inode size prior to converting unwritten extents would potentially allow a racing direct I/O read to find unwritten extents before being converted correctly. The inode extension/truncate code now resides within a new helper ext4_handle_inode_extension(). This function has been designed so that it can accommodate for both DAX and direct I/O extension/truncate operations.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
