'ip' looks strange in context of a filesystem, please pick a different
name (eg. 'inode' or whatever).

Please use the btrfs_err macros everywhere.

If the no-holes feature is enabled on the filesystem, there won't be any
such extent representing the hole. You have to check that each two
consecutive extents are adjacent.

While the test is valid, this would mean that the file is smaller than
the inline limit, which is now one page. I think the generic swap code
would refuse such a small file anyway.

I think the preallocated extents should be refused as well. This means
the filesystem has enough space to hold the data but it would still have
to go through the allocation and could in turn stress the memory
management code that triggered the swapping activity in the first place.

Though it's probably still possible to reach such corner case even with
fully allocated nodatacow file, this should be reviewed anyway.
