Why did XFS preallocate 512 blocks? The file was opened O_TRUNC, so
it should be zero length and a write of just over 4100 bytes will
not trigger speculative prealloc on a zero length file (threshold is
64kB). Indeed, the first speculative prealloc will only be 64kB in
size...

Hence it's not immediately obvious what precondition is causing this
behaviour to occur.

Why 3 blocks? what was the filesystem block size? 2kB?

This also smells of delayed allocation, because if it were
-preallocation- it would be unwritten extents and we don't punch
them out on write failures. See my first question....

Regardless, the behaviour is perfectly fine. The remainder of the
blocks are beyond EOF, and so have no impact on anything at this
point in time.

What was the mapping? A new delalloc extent from 0 to 6kB? If so,
that is exactly as expected, because there's a hole in the file
there.

How? We wrote 3584 bytes, which means the first 2 blocks were
written and marked dirty, and the third block should have been
punched out by the same process that punched the delalloc blocks in
the first write. We end up with a file size of 3584 bytes, and
a delalloc mapping for those first two blocks followed by a hole,
followed by another delalloc extent beyond EOF.

There is absolutely nothing incorrect about this state - this is
exactly how we want delalloc beyond EOF to be handled. i.e. it
remains in place until it is explicitly removed. An normal
application would fix the write buffer and rewrite the data, thereby
using the space beyond EOF that we've already preallocated.

IOWs, this change in this patch is papering over the issue by
preventing short writes from leaving extents beyond EOF, rather than
working out why either CFR or UNSHARE is going wrong when there are
extents beyond EOF.

So, onto the copy_file_range() bit.

Then CFR was called with a length of 0xffffffffa003e45bul, which is
almost 16EB in size. This should result in -EOVERFLOW, because that
is out of the range that an loff_t can represent.

i.e. generic_copy_file_checks() does this:

	if (pos_in + count < pos_in || pos_out + count < pos_out)
                return -EOVERFLOW;

and pos_in is a loff_t which is signed. Hence (0 + 15EB) should
overflow to a large negative offset and be less than 0. Implicit
type casting rules always break my brain - this looks like it is
casting everything to unsigned, thereby not actually checking if
we're overflowing the max offset the kernel can operate on.

This oversize length is not caught by a check against max file size
supported by the superblock, either,, because the count gets
truncated to EOF before the generic checks against supported maximum
file sizes are done.

That seems ... wrong. Look at fallocate() - after checking for
overflow, it checks offset + len against inode->i_sb->s_maxbytes and
returns -EFBIG at that point.

IOWs, I think CFR should be doing nothing but returning either
-EOVERFLOW of -EFBIG here because the length is way longer than
maximum supported file offset for any file operation in Linux.  Then
unshare should do nothing because the file is not shared and should
not have the reflink flag set on it.....

However, the strace indicates that:

copy_file_range(6, [0], 5, NULL, 18446744072099193947, 0) = 3584

That it is copying 3584 bytes. i.e. the overflow check is broken.
It indicates, however, that the file size is as expected from the
the short writes that occurred.

Hence the unshare operation should only be operating on the range of
0-3584 bytes because that is the only possible range of the file
that is shared.

However, the fallocate() call is for offset 0, length 0x2000 bytes
(8kB), and these ranges are passed directly from XFS to
iomap_file_unshare().  iomap_file_unshare() never checks the range
against EOF, either, and so we've passed a range beyond EOF to
iomap_file_unshare() for it to process. That seems ... wrong.

Hence the unshare does:

first map:	 0 - 4k - unshare successfully.
second map:	4k - 6k - hole, skip. Beyond EOF.
third map:	6k - 8k - delalloc, beyond EOF so needs zeroing.
			  Fires warnings because UNSHARE.

IOWs, iomap_file_unshare() will walk beyond EOF blissfully unaware
it is trying to unshare blocks that cannot ever be shared first
place because reflink will not share blocks beyond EOF. And because
those blocks are beyond EOF, they will always trigger the "need
zeroing" case in __iomap_write_begin() and fire warnings.

So, yeah, either xfs_file_fallocate() or iomap_file_unshare() need
to clamp the range being unshared to EOF.

Hence this looks like a couple of contributing issues that need to
be fixed:

- The CFR overflow checks look broken.
- The unshare range is never trimmed to EOF.

but it's definitely not a bug caused by short writes leaving
delalloc extents beyond EOF. There are many, many ways that
we can create delalloc extents beyond EOF before running an UNSHARE
operation that can trip over them like this.
