[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 11/16] btrfs: send: avoid unaligned encoded writes when attempting to clone range

[Sasha Levin]

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@xxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit a11452a3709e217492798cf3686ac2cc8eb3fb51 ]

When trying to see if we can clone a file range, there are cases where we
end up sending two write operations in case the inode from the source root
has an i_size that is not sector size aligned and the length from the
current offset to its i_size is less than the remaining length we are
trying to clone.

Issuing two write operations when we could instead issue a single write
operation is not incorrect. However it is not optimal, specially if the
extents are compressed and the flag BTRFS_SEND_FLAG_COMPRESSED was passed
to the send ioctl. In that case we can end up sending an encoded write
with an offset that is not sector size aligned, which makes the receiver
fallback to decompressing the data and writing it using regular buffered
IO (so re-compressing the data in case the fs is mounted with compression
enabled), because encoded writes fail with -EINVAL when an offset is not
sector size aligned.

The following example, which triggered a bug in the receiver code for the
fallback logic of decompressing + regular buffer IO and is fixed by the
patchset referred in a Link at the bottom of this changelog, is an example
where we have the non-optimal behaviour due to an unaligned encoded write:

   $ cat test.sh
   #!/bin/bash

   DEV=/dev/sdj
   MNT=/mnt/sdj

   mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV > /dev/null
   mount -o compress $DEV $MNT

   # File foo has a size of 33K, not aligned to the sector size.
   xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xab 0 33K" $MNT/foo

   xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xcd 0 64K" $MNT/bar

   # Now clone the first 32K of file bar into foo at offset 0.
   xfs_io -c "reflink $MNT/bar 0 0 32K" $MNT/foo

   # Snapshot the default subvolume and create a full send stream (v2).
   btrfs subvolume snapshot -r $MNT $MNT/snap

   btrfs send --compressed-data -f /tmp/test.send $MNT/snap

   echo -e "\nFile bar in the original filesystem:"
   od -A d -t x1 $MNT/snap/bar

   umount $MNT
   mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV > /dev/null
   mount $DEV $MNT

   echo -e "\nReceiving stream in a new filesystem..."
   btrfs receive -f /tmp/test.send $MNT

   echo -e "\nFile bar in the new filesystem:"
   od -A d -t x1 $MNT/snap/bar

   umount $MNT

Before this patch, the send stream included one regular write and one
encoded write for file 'bar', with the later being not sector size aligned
and causing the receiver to fallback to decompression + buffered writes.
The output of the btrfs receive command in verbose mode (-vvv):

   (...)
   mkfile o258-7-0
   rename o258-7-0 -> bar
   utimes
   clone bar - source=foo source offset=0 offset=0 length=32768
   write bar - offset=32768 length=1024
   encoded_write bar - offset=33792, len=4096, unencoded_offset=33792, unencoded_file_len=31744, unencoded_len=65536, compression=1, encryption=0
   encoded_write bar - falling back to decompress and write due to errno 22 ("Invalid argument")
   (...)

This patch avoids the regular write followed by an unaligned encoded write
so that we end up sending a single encoded write that is aligned. So after
this patch the stream content is (output of btrfs receive -vvv):

   (...)
   mkfile o258-7-0
   rename o258-7-0 -> bar
   utimes
   clone bar - source=foo source offset=0 offset=0 length=32768
   encoded_write bar - offset=32768, len=4096, unencoded_offset=32768, unencoded_file_len=32768, unencoded_len=65536, compression=1, encryption=0
   (...)

So we get more optimal behaviour and avoid the silent data loss bug in
versions of btrfs-progs affected by the bug referred by the Link tag
below (btrfs-progs v5.19, v5.19.1, v6.0 and v6.0.1).
