ext4: introduce a mount option for iomap buffered I/O path (2026-10-15 10:53:14 -0400)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Add support for buffered iomap support in ext4. This is not enabled
by default, but requires the buffered_iomap mount option, as this mode
does not support online defragmentation, inline data, fsverify,
fscrypt, non-extent inodes, and data=journal mode. If buffered_iomap
is enabled, ext4 will fall back to the original I/O code path
automatically if necessary. Large writes show significant performance
improvements when buffered iomap is enabled.
There are also miscellaneous bug fixes and improvements, including for
fast commit and avoiding deadlocks and out-of-bound reads when
handling corner cases involving corrupted file systems.
