Filipe Manana 7a8d5d5014 Btrfs-progs: add fsck test for filesystem with shared prealloc extents ...

Verify that a filesystem check operation (fsck) does not report the
following scenario as an error:

An extent is shared between two inodes, as a result of clone/reflink
operation, and for one of the inodes, lets call it inode A, the extent is
referenced through a file extent item as a prealloc extent, while for the
other inode, call it inode B, the extent is referenced through a regular
file extent item, that is, it was written to. The goal of this test is to
make sure a filesystem check operation will not report "odd csum items"
errors for the prealloc extent at inode A, because this scenario is valid
since the extent was written through inode B and therefore it is expected
to have checksum items in the filesystem's checksum btree for that shared
extent.

Such scenario can be created with the following steps for example:

 mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb
 mount /dev/sdb /mnt

 touch /mnt/foo
 xfs_io -c "falloc 0 256K" /mnt/foo
 sync

 xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xab 0 256K" /mnt/foo
 touch /mnt/bar
 xfs_io -c "reflink /mnt/foo 0 0 256K" /mnt/bar
 xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/bar

 <power fail>
 mount /dev/sdb /mnt
 umount /mnt

This scenario is fixed by the following patch for the filesystem checker:

 "Btrfs-progs: check, fix false error reports for shared prealloc extents"
