Can we always set tail_cpos in one line?
tail_cpos = ocfs2_blocks_to_clusters(inode->i_sb, tail_blkno)?
tail_cpos is either the same cluster as i_size or the next cluster and
both works for tail_blkno I guess?

For unwritten extent, we also need to clear the pages? If yes, the
solution doesn't complete if we have 2 unwritten extent, one contains
i_size while one passes i_size. Here we only clear the pages for the 1st
unwritten extent and leave the 2nd one untouched.

From here to the call of CoW is a bit hard to understand. In 'if',
num_clusters is set for CoW and in 'else', blocks_to_zero is set. So it
isn't easy for the reader to tell why these 2 clauses are setting
different values. So how about my code below? It looks more
straightforward I think.

I had the same thought on Friday, but the current version passes
testing and I was wary of changing that.

We probably don't need to zero unwritten extents. We cannot
have an extent past i_size, can we?

Not a bad split-out here.

But you dropped the check for pos_blkno alignment.
Unconditionally adding the +1 doesn't seem like a good idea.

we can. AFAICS, ocfs2_change_file_space will allocate unwritten extents
and does't change i_size.

You can add it as you wish.
I just thought that you add one more extra cluster if pos_blkno isn't
aligned so as to zero blocks in [pos_cpos_start_block, pos_blkno).
But As I said in the comments, you will soon write pos_blkno(it also
needs to be CoW since it is within this refcounted extent), so if we can
CoW it out now, maybe we have a chance to not call ocfs2_refcount_cow later.

Oh, you're right. We need to walk the entire extent range
between i_size and pos and figure out what needs CoW. This needs to
happen no matter what.

I'd much rather let the write handle its own contiguousness. If
we get lucky, that CoW melds with our CoW. If we don't get lucky, isn't
it better to have the newly changed area be fully contiguous rather than
have the first extent of it not be and then the remaining extents be?
