commit f135cea30de5f74d5bfb5116682073841fb4af8f upstream.
When we have an inode with a prealloc extent that starts at an offset
lower than the i_size and there is another prealloc extent that starts at
an offset beyond i_size, we can end up losing part of the first prealloc
extent (the part that starts at i_size) and have an implicit hole if we
fsync the file and then have a power failure.
Consider the following example with comments explaining how and why it
happens.
$ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb
$ mount /dev/sdb /mnt
# Create our test file with 2 consecutive prealloc extents, each with a
# size of 128Kb, and covering the range from 0 to 256Kb, with a file
# size of 0.
$ xfs_io -f -c "falloc -k 0 128K" /mnt/foo
$ xfs_io -c "falloc -k 128K 128K" /mnt/foo
# Fsync the file to record both extents in the log tree.
$ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/foo
# Now do a redudant extent allocation for the range from 0 to 64Kb.
# This will merely increase the file size from 0 to 64Kb. Instead we
# could also do a truncate to set the file size to 64Kb.
$ xfs_io -c "falloc 0 64K" /mnt/foo
# Fsync the file, so we update the inode item in the log tree with the
# new file size (64Kb). This also ends up setting the number of bytes
# for the first prealloc extent to 64Kb. This is done by the truncation
# at btrfs_log_prealloc_extents().
# This means that if a power failure happens after this, a write into
# the file range 64Kb to 128Kb will not use the prealloc extent and
# will result in allocation of a new extent.
$ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/foo
# Now set the file size to 256K with a truncate and then fsync the file.
# Since no changes happened to the extents, the fsync only updates the
# i_size in the inode item at the log tree. This results in an implicit
# hole for the file range from 64Kb to 128Kb, something which fsck will
# complain when not using the NO_HOLES feature if we replay the log
# after a power failure.
$ xfs_io -c "truncate 256K" -c "fsync" /mnt/foo
So instead of always truncating the log to the inode's current i_size at
btrfs_log_prealloc_extents(), check first if there's a prealloc extent
that starts at an offset lower than the i_size and with a length that
crosses the i_size - if there is one, just make sure we truncate to a
size that corresponds to the end offset of that prealloc extent, so
that we don't lose the part of that extent that starts at i_size if a
power failure happens.
A test case for fstests follows soon.

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.
