We have four different scenarios where we don't expect to find ordered extents after locking a file range: 1) During plain fallocate; 2) During hole punching; 3) During zero range; 4) During reflinks (both cloning and deduplication). This is because in all these cases we follow the pattern: 1) Lock the inode's VFS lock in exclusive mode; 2) Lock the inode's i_mmap_lock in exclusive node, to serialize with mmap writes; 3) Flush delalloc in a file range and wait for all ordered extents to complete - both done through btrfs_wait_ordered_range(); 4) Lock the file range in the inode's io_tree. So add a helper that asserts that we don't have ordered extents for a given range. Make the four scenarios listed above use this helper after locking the respective file range.

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.
