An incremental send operation can miss a truncate operation when an inode
has an increased size in the send snapshot and a prealloc extent beyond
its size.
Consider the following scenario where a necessary truncate operation is
missing in the incremental send stream:
1) In the parent snapshot an inode has a size of 1282957 bytes and it has
no prealloc extents beyond its size;
2) In the the send snapshot it has a size of 5738496 bytes and has a new
extent at offsets 1884160 (length of 106496 bytes) and a prealloc
extent beyond eof at offset 6729728 (and a length of 339968 bytes);
3) When processing the prealloc extent, at offset 6729728, we end up at
send.c:send_write_or_clone() and set the @len variable to a value of
18446744073708560384 because @offset plus the original @len value is
larger then the inode's size (6729728 + 339968 > 5738496). We then
call send_extent_data(), with that @offset and @len, which in turn
calls send_write(), and then the later calls fill_read_buf(). Because
the offset passed to fill_read_buf() is greater then inode's i_size,
this function returns 0 immediately, which makes send_write() and
send_extent_data() do nothing and return immediately as well. When
we get back to send.c:send_write_or_clone() we adjust the value
of sctx->cur_inode_next_write_offset to @offset plus @len, which
corresponds to 6729728 + 18446744073708560384 = 5738496, which is
precisely the the size of the inode in the send snapshot;
4) Later when at send.c:finish_inode_if_needed() we determine that
we don't need to issue a truncate operation because the value of
sctx->cur_inode_next_write_offset corresponds to the inode's new
size, 5738496 bytes. This is wrong because the last write operation
that was issued started at offset 1884160 with a length of 106496
bytes, so the correct value for sctx->cur_inode_next_write_offset
should be 1990656 (1884160 + 106496), so that a truncate operation
with a value of 5738496 bytes would have been sent to insert a
trailing hole at the destination.
So fix the issue by making send.c:send_write_or_clone() not attempt
to send write or clone operations for extents that start beyond the
inode's size, since such attempts do nothing but waste time by
calling helper functions and allocating path structures, and send
currently has no fallocate command in order to create prealloc extents
at the destination (either beyond a file's eof or not).
The issue was found running the test btrfs/007 from fstests using a seed
value of 1524346151 for fsstress.
