If we pass a length of 0 to the extent_same ioctl, we end up locking an extent range with a start offset greater then its end offset (if the destination file's offset is greater than zero). This results in a warning from extent_io.c:insert_state through the following call chain: btrfs_extent_same() btrfs_double_lock() lock_extent_range() lock_extent(inode->io_tree, offset, offset + len - 1) lock_extent_bits() __set_extent_bit() insert_state() --> WARN_ON(end < start) This leads to an infinite loop when evicting the inode. This is the same problem that my previous patch titled "Btrfs: fix inode eviction infinite loop after cloning into it" addressed but for the extent_same ioctl instead of the clone ioctl.
