[RFC,5/8] ext4: Adds direct-io atomic writes checks

Commit Message

Ritesh Harjani (IBM) March 2, 2024, 7:42 a.m. UTC

This patch adds ext4 specific checks for supporting atomic writes
using fsawu (filesystem atomic write unit). We can enable this support
with either -
1. bigalloc on a 4k pagesize system or
2. bs < ps system with -b <BS>
3. filesystems with LBS (large block size) support (future)

Let's use generic_atomic_write_valid() helper for alignment
restrictions checking.
