jbd2_inode fields are updated under journal->j_list_lock, but some paths
read them without holding the lock (e.g. fast commit helpers and ordered
truncate helpers).
READ_ONCE() alone is not sufficient for the dirty range fields when they
are stored as loff_t because 32-bit platforms can observe torn loads.
Store the dirty range in PAGE_SIZE units as pgoff_t instead.
Represent the dirty range end as an exclusive end page. This avoids a
special sentinel value and keeps MAX_LFS_FILESIZE on 32-bit representable.
Publish a new dirty range by updating end_page before start_page, and
treat start_page >= end_page as empty in the accessor for robustness.
Use READ_ONCE() on the read side and WRITE_ONCE() on the write side for the
dirty range and i_flags to match the existing lockless access pattern.
