Qu Wenruo 6b7faadd98 btrfs: Ensure we trim ranges across block group boundary
[BUG]
When deleting large files (which cross block group boundary) with
discard mount option, we find some btrfs_discard_extent() calls only
trimmed part of its space, not the whole range:

  btrfs_discard_extent: type=0x1 start=19626196992 len=2144530432 trimmed=1073741824 ratio=50%

type:		bbio->map_type, in above case, it's SINGLE DATA.
start:		Logical address of this trim
len:		Logical length of this trim
trimmed:	Physically trimmed bytes
ratio:		trimmed / len

Thus leaving some unused space not discarded.

[CAUSE]
When discard mount option is specified, after a transaction is fully
committed (super block written to disk), we begin to cleanup pinned
extents in the following call chain:

btrfs_commit_transaction()
|- btrfs_finish_extent_commit()
   |- find_first_extent_bit(unpin, 0, &start, &end, EXTENT_DIRTY);
   |- btrfs_discard_extent()

However, pinned extents are recorded in an extent_io_tree, which can
merge adjacent extent states.

When a large file gets deleted and it has adjacent file extents across
block group boundary, we will get a large merged range like this:

      |<---    BG1    --->|<---      BG2     --->|
      |//////|<--   Range to discard   --->|/////|

To discard that range, we have the following calls:

  btrfs_discard_extent()
  |- btrfs_map_block()
  |  Returned bbio will end at BG1's end. As btrfs_map_block()
  |  never returns result across block group boundary.
  |- btrfs_issuse_discard()
     Issue discard for each stripe.

So we will only discard the range in BG1, not the remaining part in BG2.

Furthermore, this bug is not that reliably observed, for above case, if
there is no other extent in BG2, BG2 will be empty and btrfs will trim
all space of BG2, covering up the bug.

[FIX]
- Allow __btrfs_map_block_for_discard() to modify @length parameter
  btrfs_map_block() uses its @length paramter to notify the caller how
  many bytes are mapped in current call.
  With __btrfs_map_block_for_discard() also modifing the @length,
  btrfs_discard_extent() now understands when to do extra trim.

- Call btrfs_map_block() in a loop until we hit the range end Since we
  now know how many bytes are mapped each time, we can iterate through
  each block group boundary and issue correct trim for each range.

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.
