ext4: fix ext4_ext_direct_IO()'s return value after converting uninit extents
After a direct I/O request covering an uninitalized extent (i.e., created using the fallocate system call) or a hole in a file, ext4 will convert the uninitialized extent so it is marked as initialized by calling ext4_convert_unwritten_extents(). This function returns zero on success. This return value was getting returned by ext4_direct_IO(); however the file system's direct_IO function is supposed to return the number of bytes read or written on a success. By returning zero, it confused the direct I/O code into falling back to buffered I/O unnecessarily. Signed-off-by: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
