Lachlan McIlroy 364f358a73 [XFS] Prevent direct I/O from mapping extents beyond eof
With the help from some tracing I found that we try to map extents beyond
eof when doing a direct I/O read. It appears that the way to inform the
generic direct I/O path (ie do_direct_IO()) that we have breached eof is
to return an unmapped buffer from xfs_get_blocks_direct(). This will cause
do_direct_IO() to jump to the hole handling code where is will check for
eof and then abort.

This problem was found because a direct I/O read was trying to map beyond
eof and was encountering delayed allocations. The delayed allocations
beyond eof are speculative allocations and they didn't get converted when
the direct I/O flushed the file because there was only enough space in the
current AG to convert and write out the dirty pages within eof. Note that
xfs_iomap_write_allocate() wont necessarily convert all the delayed
allocation passed to it - it will return after allocating the first extent
- so if the delayed allocation extends beyond eof then it will stay that
way.
