Ok, matches what I saw overnight.  Good, that means I (at least
theoretically) know how to test overlayfs now. :)

Ohhh, right, g/937 is the test to see if the dedupe implementation will
return a short bytes_deduped if a single byte at the end of the range
doesn't match.  I'll have to update that because...

I reverted the FIDEDUPERANGE behavior to set ->info[x].bytes_deduped =
->src_length even if we rounded the length down to the nearest block
boundary to avoid incorrect sharing of blocks on files with
non-block-aligned EOF.  It turned out that the existing FIDEDUPERANGE
users will hang in infinite loops if the kernel returns ->info[x].status
== FILE_DEDUPE_RANGE_SAME but ->info[x].bytes_deduped < ->src_length.

It seems really stupid to me that the kernel now lies to userspace to
avoid breaking it, but that's what btrfs does so we're stuck with that.
For now.

Funny, I was wondering just the other day if there were any filesystems
that set s_blocksize == 0... :)
