This series is being spun off the block atomic writes for xfs series at
[0].

That series has got too big and also has a dependency on the core block
atomic writes support at [1].

The actual forcealign patches are the same in this series, modulo an
attempt for a fix in xfs_bunmapi_align()

Why forcealign?
In some scenarios to may be required to guarantee extent alignment and
granularity.

For example, for atomic writes, the maximum atomic write unit size would
be limited at the extent alignment and granularity, guaranteeing that an
atomic write would not span data present in multiple extents.

forcealign may be useful as a performance tuning optimization in other
scenarios.

Early development xfsprogs support is at:
https://github.com/johnpgarry/xfsprogs-dev/tree/forcealign_and_atomicwrites_for_v4_xfs_block_atomic_writes

Catherine has been working on a formal version of this support, which
I need to update to.

Darrick J. Wong (2):
  xfs: Introduce FORCEALIGN inode flag
  xfs: Enable file data forcealign feature

Dave Chinner (6):
  xfs: only allow minlen allocations when near ENOSPC
  xfs: always tail align maxlen allocations
  xfs: simplify extent allocation alignment
  xfs: make EOF allocation simpler
