Looks like there's something fundamentally broken with the patch set
as it stands. I get this same data corruption on both ext4 and XFS
with XIP using fsx. It's as basic as it gets - the first read after
a mmapped write fails to see the data written by mmap:

$ sudo mkfs.xfs -f /dev/ram0
meta-data=/dev/ram0 isize=256 agcount=4, agsize=256000 blks
= sectsz=512 attr=2, projid32bit=1

$ sudo mount -o xip /dev/ram0 /mnt/scr
$ sudo chmod 777 /mnt/scr
$ ltp/fsx -d -N 1000 -S 0 /mnt/scr/fsx

Correct content saved for comparison
(maybe hexdump "/mnt/scr/fsx" vs "/mnt/scr/fsx.fsxgood")

XFS gives a good indication that we aren't doing something correctly
w.r.t. mapped XIP writes, as trying to fiemap the file ASSERT fails
with a delayed allocation extent somewhere inside the file after a
sync. I shall keep digging.

Cheers,

Dave.
