>    ext4: serialize unaligned asynchronous DIO
>    
>    ext4 has a data corruption case when doing non-block-aligned
>    asynchronous direct IO into a sparse file, as demonstrated
>    by xfstest 240.
>    
>    The root cause is that while ext4 preallocates space in the
>    hole, mappings of that space still look "new" and
>    dio_zero_block() will zero out the unwritten portions.  When
>    more than one AIO thread is going, they both find this "new"
>    block and race to zero out their portion; this is uncoordinated
>    and causes data corruption.
>    
>    Dave Chinner fixed this for xfs by simply serializing all
>    unaligned asynchronous direct IO.  I've done the same here.
>    The difference is that we only wait on conversions, not all IO.
>    This is a very big hammer, and I'm not very pleased with
>    stuffing this into ext4_file_write().  But since ext4 is
>    DIO_LOCKING, we need to serialize it at this high level.
>    
>    I tried to move this into ext4_ext_direct_IO, but by then
>    we have the i_mutex already, and we will wait on the
>    work queue to do conversions - which must also take the
>    i_mutex.  So that won't work.
>    
>    This was originally exposed by qemu-kvm installing to
>    a raw disk image with a normal sector-63 alignment.  I've
>    tested a backport of this patch with qemu, and it does
>    avoid the corruption.  It is also quite a lot slower
>    (14 min for package installs, vs. 8 min for well-aligned)
>    but I'll take slow correctness over fast corruption any day.
>    
>    Mingming suggested that we can track outstanding
>    conversions, and wait on those so that non-sparse
>    files won't be affected, and I've implemented that here;
>    unaligned AIO to nonsparse files won't take a perf hit.
>    
>    [tytso@mit.edu: Keep the mutex as a hashed array instead
>     of bloating the ext4 inode]
