It turns out that commit 3974320ca6 "Implement iomap for block_map"
introduced a few bugs that trigger occasional failures with xfstest
generic/476:
In gfs2_iomap_begin, we jump to do_alloc when we determine that we are
beyond the end of the allocated metadata (height > ip->i_height).
There, we can end up calling hole_size with a metapath that doesn't
match the current metadata tree, which doesn't make sense. After
untangling the code at do_alloc, fix this by checking if the block we
are looking for is within the range of allocated metadata.
In addition, add a BUG() in case gfs2_iomap_begin is accidentally called
for reading stuffed files: this is handled separately. Make sure we
don't truncate iomap->length for reads beyond the end of the file; in
that case, the entire range counts as a hole.
Finally, revert to taking a bitmap write lock when doing allocations.
It's unclear why that change didn't lead to any failures during testing.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
