    Btrfs: send, fix missing truncate for inode with prealloc extent past eof · a6aa10c7

    An incremental send operation can miss a truncate operation when an inode
    has an increased size in the send snapshot and a prealloc extent beyond
    its size.
    
    Consider the following scenario where a necessary truncate operation is
    missing in the incremental send stream:
    
    1) In the parent snapshot an inode has a size of 1282957 bytes and it has
       no prealloc extents beyond its size;
    
    2) In the the send snapshot it has a size of 5738496 bytes and has a new
       extent at offsets 1884160 (length of 106496 bytes) and a prealloc
       extent beyond eof at offset 6729728 (and a length of 339968 bytes);
    
    3) When processing the prealloc extent, at offset 6729728, we end up at
       send.c:send_write_or_clone() and set the @len variable to a value of
       18446744073708560384 because @offset plus the original @len value is
       larger then the inode's size (6729728 + 339968 > 5738496). We then
       call send_extent_data(), with that @offset and @len, which in turn
       calls send_write(), and then the later calls fill_read_buf(). Because
       the offset passed to fill_read_buf() is greater then inode's i_size,
       this function returns 0 immediately, which makes send_write() and
       send_extent_data() do nothing and return immediately as well. When
       we get back to send.c:send_write_or_clone() we adjust the value
       of sctx->cur_inode_next_write_offset to @offset plus @len, which
       corresponds to 6729728 + 18446744073708560384 = 5738496, which is
       precisely the the size of the inode in the send snapshot;
    
    4) Later when at send.c:finish_inode_if_needed() we determine that
       we don't need to issue a truncate operation because the value of
       sctx->cur_inode_next_write_offset corresponds to the inode's new
       size, 5738496 bytes. This is wrong because the last write operation
       that was issued started at offset 1884160 with a length of 106496
       bytes, so the correct value for sctx->cur_inode_next_write_offset
       should be 1990656 (1884160 + 106496), so that a truncate operation
       with a value of 5738496 bytes would have been sent to insert a
       trailing hole at the destination.
    
    So fix the issue by making send.c:send_write_or_clone() not attempt
    to send write or clone operations for extents that start beyond the
    inode's size, since such attempts do nothing but waste time by
    calling helper functions and allocating path structures, and send
    currently has no fallocate command in order to create prealloc extents
    at the destination (either beyond a file's eof or not).
    
    The issue was found running the test btrfs/007 from fstests using a seed
    value of 1524346151 for fsstress.
