Aha!  Ok, I hadn't realized that extA is not shared...

...so what marked the old page dirty?   Was it the case that the
unshared extA got marked dirty, then later someone created a cow
reservation (extB, I guess) that covered the already dirty extA?

Should we be transferring the dirty state from A to B here before the
invalidate_inode_pages2_range ?

In general, yes, XFS allows COW on non-shared extents.  The (cow) extent
size hint provides for cowing the unshared blocks adjacent to a shared
block to try to combat fragmentation.

Oh, right.  I forgot that _reflink_clear_inode_flag walks the entire
data fork looking for shared extents, and only clears the flag if it
doesn't find any.

That said, if (say) this is a large sparse file with 300 million extent
records and extent 299,999,999 is shared, this is going to make write
completions realllllly slow, as each completion now has to perform its
own walk...

...which is why we don't clear the flag immediately.  Or ever.  Only
repairs take the time to do that.
