There is a long existing problem that extent_map::generation is not
populated (thus always 0) if its read from disk.
This can prevent btrfs autodefrag from working as it relies on
extent_map::generation.
If it's always 0, then autodefrag will not consider the range as a
defrag target.
The test case itself will verify the behavior by:
- Create a fragmented file
By writing backwards with OSYNC
This will also queue the file for autodefrag.
- Drop all cache
Including the extent map cache, meaning later read will
all get extent map by reading from on-disk file extent items.
- Trigger autodefrag and verify the file layout
If defrag works, the new file layout should differ from the original
one.
The kernel fix is titled:
btrfs: populate extent_map::generation when reading from disk
