Currently iomap_dio_rw() only handles (data)sync write completions for AIO. This means we can't optimised non-AIO IO to minimise device flushes as we can't tell the caller whether a flush is required or not. To solve this problem and enable further optimisations, make iomap_dio_rw responsible for data sync behaviour for all IO, not just AIO. In doing so, the sync operation is now accounted as part of the DIO IO by inode_dio_end(), hence post-IO data stability updates will no long race against operations that serialise via inode_dio_wait() such as truncate or hole punch.

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.
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.
