3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@xxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d4dfc0f4d39475ccbbac947880b5464a74c30b99 ] When doing an incremental send of a filesystem with the no-holes feature enabled, we end up issuing a write operation when using the no data mode send flag, instead of issuing an update extent operation. Fix this by issuing the update extent operation instead. Trivial reproducer: $ mkfs.btrfs -f -O no-holes /dev/sdc $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdd $ mount /dev/sdc /mnt/sdc $ mount /dev/sdd /mnt/sdd $ xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xab 0 32K" /mnt/sdc/foobar $ btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /mnt/sdc /mnt/sdc/snap1 $ xfs_io -c "fpunch 8K 8K" /mnt/sdc/foobar $ btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /mnt/sdc /mnt/sdc/snap2 $ btrfs send /mnt/sdc/snap1 | btrfs receive /mnt/sdd $ btrfs send --no-data -p /mnt/sdc/snap1 /mnt/sdc/snap2 \ | btrfs receive -vv /mnt/sdd Before this change the output of the second receive command is: receiving snapshot snap2 uuid=f6922049-8c22-e544-9ff9-fc6755918447... utimes write foobar, offset 8192, len 8192 utimes foobar BTRFS_IOC_SET_RECEIVED_SUBVOL uuid=f6922049-8c22-e544-9ff9-... After this change it is: receiving snapshot snap2 uuid=564d36a3-ebc8-7343-aec9-bf6fda278e64... utimes update_extent foobar: offset=8192, len=8192 utimes foobar BTRFS_IOC_SET_RECEIVED_SUBVOL uuid=564d36a3-ebc8-7343-aec9-bf6fda278e64...
