[XFS] Prevent direct I/O from mapping extents beyond eof
With the help from some tracing I found that we try to map extents beyond eof when doing a direct I/O read. It appears that the way to inform the generic direct I/O path (ie do_direct_IO()) that we have breached eof is to return an unmapped buffer from xfs_get_blocks_direct(). This will cause do_direct_IO() to jump to the hole handling code where is will check for eof and then abort. This problem was found because a direct I/O read was trying to map beyond eof and was encountering delayed allocations. The delayed allocations beyond eof are speculative allocations and they didn't get converted when the direct I/O flushed the file because there was only enough space in the current AG to convert and write out the dirty pages within eof. Note that xfs_iomap_write_allocate() wont necessarily convert all the delayed allocation passed to it - it will return after allocating the first extent - so if the delayed allocation extends beyond eof then it will stay that way.
