From: Filipe Manana fdmanana@suse.com
[ Upstream commit e1cbfd7bf6dabdac561c75d08357571f44040a45 ]
Normally we don't have inline extents followed by regular extents, but there's currently at least one harmless case where this happens. For example, when the page size is 4Kb and compression is enabled:
$ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb $ mount -o compress /dev/sdb /mnt $ xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xaa 0 4K" -c "fsync" /mnt/foobar $ xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xbb 8K 4K" -c "fsync" /mnt/foobar
In this case we get a compressed inline extent, representing 4Kb of data, followed by a hole extent and then a regular data extent. The inline extent was not expanded/converted to a regular extent exactly because it represents 4Kb of data. This does not cause any apparent problem (such as the issue solved by commit e1699d2d7bf6 ("btrfs: add missing memset while reading compressed inline extents")) except trigger an unexpected case in the incremental send code path that makes us issue an operation to write a hole when it's not needed, resulting in more writes at the receiver and wasting space at the receiver.
So teach the incremental send code to deal with this particular case.
The issue can be currently triggered by running fstests btrfs/137 with compression enabled (MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o compress" ./check btrfs/137).
