When a filesystem sees this flag set it will not allow changes to the
file-offset to physical-block-offset relationship of any extent in the
file. The extent of the extents covered by the global S_IOMAP_SEALED is
filesystem specific. In other words it is similar to the inode-wide
XFS_DIFLAG2_REFLINK flag where we make the distinction apply globally to
the inode even though we could theoretically limit that effect to a
sub-range of the file.

The interface that sets this flag (mmap(..., MAP_DIRECT, ...)) will be
careful to document that it is implementation specific whether the
'sealed' restrictions apply to a sub-range or the whole file.
Applications should be prepared for unrelated ranges in the file to be
effected.

The term 'sealed' is used instead of 'immutable' to better indicate that
this is a file property that is temporary and can be undone.

I'm still very unhappy about the get/set flag state.  What is the
reason you can't use/extend leases? (take a look at the fcntl
man page and look for Leases).  A variant of the concept is what
the pNFS block server uses.

So I think leases could potentially be extended to replace the inode
flag. A MAP_DIRECT operation would take out a lease that is broken by
break_layouts(). However, like the pNFS case the lease break would
need to held off while any DMA might be in-flight. We can use an
elevated page count as that indication as ZONE_DEVICE pages only ever
have an elevated page count in response to get_user_pages().

However, I think the only practical difference is turning an immediate
ETXTBSY response that S_IOMAP_SEALED provides into an indefinite
blocking wait for break_layouts() to complete. Can pNFS run
break_layouts() in bounded time?

As far I can see a lease and S_IOMAP_SEALED have the same DMA
cancelling problem, so a lease is not better in that regard. Absent an
overlaying protocol like pNFS, I think S_IOMAP_SEALED is cleaner
because it fails incompatible operations outright rather than stalls
them in break_layouts(). Were their other benefits to a lease over an
inode flag that you had in mind for this case where the protocol is
userspace defined? Maybe I'm thinking too small on the ways a lease
might be extended.

At a minimum I can at least use a new lease type as an indication of
when to bail out an block-map operation with ETXTBSY, and reuse the
lease security model. That way we at least start to converge the
in-kernel lease machinery for pinning blocks with this userspace
mechanism.
