[Devel] [PATCH rh7] ploop: fix direct_io prealloc checks

Long time ago, when ploop used FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE, the logic of
updating io->prealloced_size was implemented correctly:

1) Calculate [pos, end_pos) -- a fragment of image file we're going to
   write to.

2) If [pos, end_pos) is beyond end of file (i.e. end_pos > i_size), let's
   either simply use preallocated space:

	io->prealloced_size -= clu_siz;

   or firstly prealloc more space and then use the space:

	fallocate(file, mode, pos, prealloc);
	io->prealloced_size -= clu_siz;

Now, when ploop doesn't use FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE, the logic above doesn't
work as expected because after prealloc, i_size is extended and the condition
"end_pos > i_size" is false. Hence, a lot of writes to preallocated space
come without "io->prealloced_size -= clu_siz;". And, when all preallocated
space is logically exhausted, io->prealloced_size is still not zero. Then
ploop skips fallocate() and goes to pagecache_write_begin() stuff.
