xfs_file_write_zero_eof is the only caller of xfs_zero_range that does not take XFS_MMAPLOCK_EXCL (aka the invalidate lock). Currently that is actually the right thing, as an error in the iomap zeroing code will also take the invalidate_lock to clean up, but to fix that deadlock we need a consistent locking pattern first. The only extra thing that XFS_MMAPLOCK_EXCL will lock out are read pagefaults, which isn't really needed here, but also not actively harmful.

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 reStructuredText 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.
