Subject: Btrfs: adjust outstanding_extents counter properly when dio write is split
From: Liu Bo <bo.li.liu@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit c2931667c83ded6504b3857e99cc45b21fa496fb ]
Currently how btrfs dio deals with split dio write is not good
enough if dio write is split into several segments due to the
lack of contiguous space, a large dio write like 'dd bs=1G count=1'
can end up with incorrect outstanding_extents counter and endio
would complain loudly with an assertion.
This fixes the problem by compensating the outstanding_extents
counter in inode if a large dio write gets split.
