The naming styles are different for some functions with 'check' in their
names. Some of them are like:
ext4_check_quota_consistency
ext4_check_test_dummy_encryption
ext4_check_opt_consistency
ext4_check_descriptors
ext4_check_feature_compatibility
While the others looks like below:
ext4_geometry_check
ext4_journal_data_mode_check
This is not a big deal and boils down to personal preference. But I'd
like to make them consistent.

Now that ext4_writepages() gets journalled data into its final location
we just use filemap_write_and_wait() instead of special handling of
journalled data in ext4_bmap(). We can also drop EXT4_STATE_JDATA flag
as it is not used anymore.

Now that ext4_writepages() makes sure all journalled data is committed
and checkpointed, sync_filesystem() call done by dquot_quota_on() is
enough for quota IO to see uptodate data. So drop special handling of
journalled data from ext4_quota_on().

Now that ext4_writepages() makes sure journalled data is on stable
storage, write_inode_now() call in iput_final() is enough to make
pagecache pages with journalled data really clean (data committed and
checkpointed). So we can drop special handling of journalled data in
ext4_evict_inode().

The handling of journalled data in ext4_zero_range() is incomplete. We
do not need to commit running transaction but we rather need to
checkpoint pages with journalled data. If we don't, journal tail can be
advanced beyond transaction containing the journalled data and if we
then crash before committing the transaction doing the zeroing we will
have inconsistent (too old) data in the file. Make sure file pages with
journalled data are properly checkpointed before removing them from the
page cache.

When journalling data we currently just walk over pages, journal those
that are marked for delayed dirtying (only pinned pages dirtied behing
our back these days) and checkpoint other dirty pages. Because some
pages may be part of running transaction the result is that after
filemap_write_and_wait() we are not guaranteed pages are stable on disk.
Thus places that want to flush current pagecache content need to jump
through hoops to make sure journalled data is not lost. This is
manageable in cases completely controlled by ext4 (such as extent
shifting operations or inode eviction) but it gets ugly for stuff like
fsverity. Furthermore it is rather error prone as people often do not
realize journalled data needs special handling.
So change ext4_writepages() to commit transaction with inode's data
before going through the writeback loop in WB_SYNC_ALL mode. As a result
filemap_write_and_wait() is now really getting pages to stable storage
and makes pagecache pages safe to reclaim. Consequently we can remove
the special handling of journalled data from several places in follow up
patches.
Note that this will make fsync(2) for journalled data more expensive as
we will end up not only committing the transaction we need but also
checkpointing the data (which we may have previously skipped if the data
was part of the running transaction). If we really cared, we would need
to introduce special VFS function for writing out & invalidating page
cache for a range, use ->launder_page callback to perform checkpointing,
and use it from all the places that need this functionality. But at this
point I'm not convinced the complexity is worth it.

With journalled data it can happen that checkpointing code will write
out page contents without clearing the page dirty bit. The logic in
ext4_page_nomap_can_writeout() then results in us never calling
mpage_submit_page() and thus clearing the dirty bit. Drop the
optimization with ext4_page_nomap_can_writeout() and just always call to
mpage_submit_page(). ext4_bio_write_page() knows when to redirty the
page and the additional clearing & setting of page dirty bit for ordered
mode writeout is not that expensive to jump through the hoops for it.

Currently we clear page dirty bit when we checkpoint some buffers from a
page with journalled data or when we perform delayed dirtying of a page
in ext4_writepages(). In a quest to simplify handling of journalled data
we want to keep page dirty as long as it has either buffers to
checkpoint or journalled dirty data. So make sure to keep page dirty in
ext4_writepages() if it still has journalled data attached to it.

Currently pages with journalled data written by write(2) or modified by
block zeroing during truncate(2) are not marked as dirty. They are
dirtied only once the transaction commits. This however makes writeback
code think inode has no pages to write and so ext4_writepages() is not
called to make pages with journalled data persistent. Mark pages with
journalled data dirty (similarly as it happens for writes through mmap)
so that writeback code knows about them and ext4_writepages() can do
what it needs to to the inode.

When invalidating buffers under the partial tail page,
jbd2_journal_invalidate_folio() returns -EBUSY if the buffer is part of
the committing transaction as we cannot safely modify buffer state.
However if the buffer is already invalidated (due to previous
invalidation attempts from ext4_wait_for_tail_page_commit()), there's
nothing to do and there's no point in returning -EBUSY. This fixes
occasional warnings from ext4_journalled_invalidate_folio() triggered by
generic/051 fstest when blocksize < pagesize.
