This patch addresses an issue that causes fiemap to falsely
report a shared extent. The test case is as follows:
xfs_io -f -d -c "pwrite -b 16k 0 64k" -c "fiemap -v" /media/scratch/file5
sync
xfs_io -c "fiemap -v" /media/scratch/file5
which gives the resulting output:
wrote 65536/65536 bytes at offset 0
64 KiB, 4 ops; 0.0000 sec (121.359 MiB/sec and 7766.9903 ops/sec)
/media/scratch/file5:
EXT: FILE-OFFSET BLOCK-RANGE TOTAL FLAGS
0: [0..127]: 24576..24703 128 0x2001
/media/scratch/file5:
EXT: FILE-OFFSET BLOCK-RANGE TOTAL FLAGS
0: [0..127]: 24576..24703 128 0x1
This is because btrfs_check_shared calls find_parent_nodes
repeatedly in a loop, passing a share_check struct to report
the count of shared extent. But btrfs_check_shared does not
re-initialize the count value to zero for subsequent calls
from the loop, resulting in a false share count value. This
is a regressive behavior from 4.13.
With proper re-initialization the test result is as follows:
wrote 65536/65536 bytes at offset 0
64 KiB, 4 ops; 0.0000 sec (110.035 MiB/sec and 7042.2535 ops/sec)
/media/scratch/file5:
EXT: FILE-OFFSET BLOCK-RANGE TOTAL FLAGS
0: [0..127]: 24576..24703 128 0x1
/media/scratch/file5:
EXT: FILE-OFFSET BLOCK-RANGE TOTAL FLAGS
0: [0..127]: 24576..24703 128 0x1
which corrects the regression.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
