truncate down followed by delayed allocation (buffered writes) - worst
case scenario for the notorious NULL files problem. This reduces the
window where we are exposed to that problem significantly.

ATTR_NOLOCK flag, but this was split off some time ago, as ATTR_DMI needed
to be used separately. Two asserts were added to guard correctness of the
code during the transition. These are no longer required.

the range spanned by modifications to the in-core extent map. Add
XFS_BUNMAPI() and XFS_SWAP_EXTENTS() macros that call xfs_bunmapi() and
xfs_swap_extents() via the ioops vector. Change all calls that may modify
the in-core extent map for the data fork to go through the ioops vector.
This allows a cache of extent map data to be kept in sync.

conversion and concurrent truncate operations. Use vn_iowait to wait for
the completion of any pending DIOs. Since the truncate requires exclusive
IOLOCK, so this blocks any further DIO operations since DIO write also
needs exclusive IOBLOCK. This serves as a barrier and prevent any
potential starvation.

was caused by ENOSPC but not Rreclaimed by xfs_release or xfs_inactive.
The fix changed the condition in xfs_release and xfs_inactive to invoke
xfs_inactive_free_eofblocks for this special case, changed
xfs_inactive_free_eofblocks to clean the delayed blks after eof. It also
changed xfs_write to set correct eof when ENOSPC occurs.

The assertion failure came from XFS QA41. The fix is done by enabling
truncate for delayed block in xfs_inactive.
