Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: fix races between hole punching and AIO+DIO
After commit "ocfs2: return real error code in ocfs2_dio_wr_get_block",
fstests/generic/300 become from always failed to sometimes failed:
========================================================================
[ 473.293420 ] run fstests generic/300

fio: io_u error on file /mnt/scratch/racer: Read-only file system: write offset=460849152, buflen=131072
=========================================================================
In __blockdev_direct_IO, ocfs2_dio_wr_get_block is called to add unwritten
extents to a list. extents are also inserted into extent tree in
ocfs2_write_begin_nolock. Then another thread call fallocate to puch a
hole at one of the unwritten extent. The extent at cpos was removed by
ocfs2_remove_extent(). At end io worker thread, ocfs2_search_extent_list
found there is no such extent at the cpos.

In most filesystems, fallocate is not compatible with racing with AIO+DIO,
so fix it by adding to wait for all dio before fallocate/punch_hole like
ext4.
