iomap: add dirty page control to iomap_zero_iter

Browse source

This patch prepares the iomap framework for exFAT's upcoming migration to
iomap. During testing of the exFAT iomap branch with xfstests generic/299 on
a VM with 8GB RAM and a 40GB disk, system unresponsiveness was observed.

iomap_zero_iter() lacked dirty page throttling, which could cause memory
pressure when exFAT's valid_size mechanism triggers large-scale zeroing
operations during writes beyond valid_size.

Align iomap_zero_iter() with iomap_write_iter() by adding
balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() to throttle dirty page generation during
large zeroing operations
