mainlining shenanigans
690a5dbfc5
When cloning extents (or deduplicating) we create a transaction with a
space reservation that considers we will drop or update a single file
extent item of the destination inode (that we modify a single leaf). That
is fine for the vast majority of scenarios, however it might happen that
we need to drop many file extent items, and adjust at most two file extent
items, in the destination root, which can span multiple leafs. This will
lead to either the call to btrfs_drop_extents() to fail with ENOSPC or
the subsequent calls to btrfs_insert_empty_item() or btrfs_update_inode()
(called through clone_finish_inode_update()) to fail with ENOSPC. Such
failure results in a transaction abort, leaving the filesystem in a
read-only mode.
In order to fix this we need to follow the same approach as the hole
punching code, where we create a local reservation with 1 unit and keep
ending and starting transactions, after balancing the btree inode,
when __btrfs_drop_extents() returns ENOSPC. So fix this by making the
extent cloning call calls the recently added btrfs_punch_hole_range()
helper, which is what does the mentioned work for hole punching, and
make sure whenever we drop extent items in a transaction, we also add a
replacing file extent item, to avoid corruption (a hole) if after ending
a transaction and before starting a new one, the old transaction gets
committed and a power failure happens before we finish cloning.
A test case for fstests follows soon.

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.
