Zhang Yi 240930fb7e ext4: dio take shared inode lock when overwriting preallocated blocks
In the dio write path, we only take shared inode lock for the case of
aligned overwriting initialized blocks inside EOF. But for overwriting
preallocated blocks, it may only need to split unwritten extents, this
procedure has been protected under i_data_sem lock, it's safe to
release the exclusive inode lock and take shared inode lock.

This could give a significant speed up for multi-threaded writes. Test
on Intel Xeon Gold 6140 and nvme SSD with below fio parameters.

 direct=1
 ioengine=libaio
 iodepth=10
 numjobs=10
 runtime=60
 rw=randwrite
 size=100G

And the test result are:
Before:
 bs=4k       IOPS=11.1k, BW=43.2MiB/s
 bs=16k      IOPS=11.1k, BW=173MiB/s
 bs=64k      IOPS=11.2k, BW=697MiB/s

After:
 bs=4k       IOPS=41.4k, BW=162MiB/s
 bs=16k      IOPS=41.3k, BW=646MiB/s
 bs=64k      IOPS=13.5k, BW=843MiB/s

README

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.
