Subject: [PATCH] fs/remap: constrain dedupe of EOF blocks
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
If dedupe of an EOF block is not constrainted to match against only
other EOF blocks with the same EOF offset into the block, it can
match against any other block that has the same matching initial
bytes in it, even if the bytes beyond EOF in the source file do
not match.
Fix this by constraining the EOF block matching to only match
against other EOF blocks that have identical EOF offsets and data.
This allows "whole file dedupe" to continue to work without allowing
eof blocks to randomly match against partial full blocks with the
same data.
