An atomic write is a write issued with torn-write protection, meaning that for a power failure or any other hardware failure, all or none of the data from the write will be stored, but never a mix of old and new data. Userspace may add flag RWF_ATOMIC to pwritev2() to indicate that the write is to be issued with torn-write prevention, according to special alignment and length rules. For any syscall interface utilizing struct iocb, add IOCB_ATOMIC for iocb->ki_flags field to indicate the same. A call to statx will give the relevant atomic write info for a file: - atomic_write_unit_min - atomic_write_unit_max - atomic_write_segments_max Both min and max values must be a power-of-2. Applications can avail of atomic write feature by ensuring that the total length of a write is a power-of-2 in size and also sized between atomic_write_unit_min and atomic_write_unit_max, inclusive. Applications must ensure that the write is at a naturally-aligned offset in the file wrt the total write length. The value in atomic_write_segments_max indicates the upper limit for IOV_ITER iovcnt. Add file mode flag FMODE_CAN_ATOMIC_WRITE, so files which do not have the flag set will have RWF_ATOMIC rejected and not just ignored. Add a type argument to kiocb_set_rw_flags() to allows reads which have RWF_ATOMIC set to be rejected. Helper function generic_atomic_write_valid() can be used by FSes to verify compliant writes. There we check for iov_iter type is for ubuf, which implies iovcnt==1 for pwritev2(), which is an initial restriction for atomic_write_segments_max. Initially the only user will be bdev file operations write handler. We will rely on the block BIO submission path to ensure write sizes are compliant for the bdev, so we don't need to check atomic writes sizes yet.
