Subject: xfs: handle racy AIO in xfs_reflink_end_cow
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>
commit e12199f85d0ad1b04ce6c425ad93cd847fe930bb upstream.
If we got two AIO writes into a COW area the second one might not have any
COW extents left to convert. Handle that case gracefully instead of
triggering an assert or accessing beyond the bounds of the extent list.
