Hi, Matthew

Sorry it took me so long to get back to this.

I found that set_range_uptodate() might be skipped in write_begin()
in this case:

                  if (!(flags & IOMAP_WRITE_F_UNSHARE) &&
                   ┊   (from <= poff || from >= poff + plen) &&
                   ┊   (to <= poff || to >= poff + plen))
                           continue;

And iomap_adjust_read_range() can set 'poff' greater than 'from'
and 'poff + len' less than 'to'.
