Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/5] Clean up ext4_file_write()

This patch series makes ext4_file_write() a bit easier to understand by
eliminating ext4_file_dio_write() and merging common code together.

In addition, fix an O_APPEND locking issue which Al Viro pointed out.

Theodore Ts'o (5):
  ext4: inline generic_file_aio_write() into ext4_file_write()
  ext4: move ext4_file_dio_write() into ext4_file_write()
  ext4: drop aio_mutex after grabbing i_mutex in ext4_file_write()
  ext4: factor out common code in ext4_file_write()
  ext4: add locking for O_APPEND writes
