Page writeback indirectly handles shared extents via the existence of overlapping COW fork blocks. If COW fork blocks exist, writeback always performs the associated copy-on-write regardless if the underlying blocks are actually shared. If the blocks are shared, then overlapping COW fork blocks must always exist. fstests shared/010 reproduces a case where a buffered write occurs over a shared block without performing the requisite COW fork reservation. This ultimately causes writeback to the shared extent and data corruption that is detected across md5 checks of the filesystem across a mount cycle. The problem occurs when a buffered write lands over a shared extent that crosses an extent size hint boundary and that also happens to have a partial COW reservation that doesn't cover the start and end blocks of the data fork extent. For example, a buffered write occurs across the file offset (in FSB units) range of [29, 57]. A shared extent exists at blocks [29, 35] and COW reservation already exists at blocks [32, 34]. After accommodating a COW extent size hint of 32 blocks and the existing reservation at offset 32, xfs_reflink_reserve_cow() allocates 32 blocks of reservation at offset 0 and returns with COW reservation across the range of [0, 34]. The associated data fork extent is still [29, 35], however, which isn't fully covered by the COW reservation. This leads to a buffered write at file offset 35 over a shared extent without associated COW reservation. Writeback eventually kicks in, performs an overwrite of the underlying shared block and causes the associated data corruption. Update xfs_reflink_reserve_cow() to accommodate the fact that a delalloc allocation request may not fully cover the extent in the data fork. Trim the data fork extent appropriately, just as is done for shared extent boundaries and/or existing COW reservations that happen to overlap the start of the data fork extent. This prevents shared/010 failures due to data corruption on reflink enabled filesystems.

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.
