Qu Wenruo 9d9ea1e68a btrfs: subpage: fix relocation potentially overwriting last page data
[BUG]
When using the following script, btrfs will report data corruption after
one data balance with subpage support:

  mkfs.btrfs -f -s 4k $dev
  mount $dev -o nospace_cache $mnt
  $fsstress -w -n 8 -s 1620948986 -d $mnt/ -v > /tmp/fsstress
  sync
  btrfs balance start -d $mnt
  btrfs scrub start -B $mnt

Similar problem can be easily observed in btrfs/028 test case, there
will be tons of balance failure with -EIO.

[CAUSE]
Above fsstress will result the following data extents layout in extent
tree:
  item 10 key (13631488 EXTENT_ITEM 98304) itemoff 15889 itemsize 82
    refs 2 gen 7 flags DATA
    extent data backref root FS_TREE objectid 259 offset 1339392 count 1
    extent data backref root FS_TREE objectid 259 offset 647168 count 1
  item 11 key (13631488 BLOCK_GROUP_ITEM 8388608) itemoff 15865 itemsize 24
    block group used 102400 chunk_objectid 256 flags DATA
  item 12 key (13733888 EXTENT_ITEM 4096) itemoff 15812 itemsize 53
    refs 1 gen 7 flags DATA
    extent data backref root FS_TREE objectid 259 offset 729088 count 1

Then when creating the data reloc inode, the data reloc inode will look
like this:

	0	32K	64K	96K 100K	104K
	|<------ Extent A ----->|   |<- Ext B ->|

Then when we first try to relocate extent A, we setup the data reloc
inode with i_size 96K, then read both page [0, 64K) and page [64K, 128K).

For page 64K, since the i_size is just 96K, we fill range [96K, 128K)
with 0 and set it uptodate.

Then when we come to extent B, we update i_size to 104K, then try to read
page [64K, 128K).
Then we find the page is already uptodate, so we skip the read.
But range [96K, 128K) is filled with 0, not the real data.

Then we writeback the data reloc inode to disk, with 0 filling range
[96K, 128K), corrupting the content of extent B.

The behavior is caused by the fact that we still do full page read for
subpage case.

The bug won't really happen for regular sectorsize, as one page only
contains one sector.

[FIX]
This patch will fix the problem by invalidating range [i_size, PAGE_END]
in prealloc_file_extent_cluster().

So that if above example happens, when we preallocate the file extent
for extent B, we will clear the uptodate bits for range [96K, 128K),
allowing later relocate_one_page() to re-read the needed range.

There is a special note for the invalidating part.

Since we're not calling real btrfs_invalidatepage(), but just clearing
the subpage and page uptodate bits, we can leave a page half dirty and
half out of date.

Reading such page can cause a deadlock, as we normally expect a dirty
page to be fully uptodate.

Thus here we flush and wait the data reloc inode before doing the hacked
invalidating.  This won't cause extra overhead, as we're going to
writeback the data later anyway.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
