Support atomic writes by submitting a single BIO with the REQ_ATOMIC set. It must be ensured that the atomic write adheres to its rules, like naturally aligned offset, so call blkdev_dio_invalid() -> blkdev_atomic_write_valid() [with renaming blkdev_dio_unaligned() to blkdev_dio_invalid()] for this purpose. The BIO submission path currently checks for atomic writes which are too large, so no need to check here. In blkdev_direct_IO(), if the nr_pages exceeds BIO_MAX_VECS, then we cannot produce a single BIO, so error in this case. Finally set FMODE_CAN_ATOMIC_WRITE when the bdev can support atomic writes and the associated file flag is for O_DIRECT. Reviewed-by: Martin K.

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.
