xfs_reflink_end_cow_extent looks up the COW extent and the data fork
extent at offset_fsb, and then proceeds to remap the common subset
between the two.
It does however not limit the remapped extent to the passed in
[*offset_fsbm end_fsb] range and thus potentially remaps more blocks than
the one handled by the current I/O completion. This means that with
sufficiently large data and COW extents we could be remapping COW fork
mappings that have not been written to, leading to a stale data exposure
on a powerfail event.
We use to have a xfs_trim_range to make the remap fit the I/O completion
range, but that got (apparently accidentally) removed in commit
df2fd88f8ac7 ("xfs: rewrite xfs_reflink_end_cow to use intents").
Note that I've only found this by code inspection, and a test case would
probably require very specific delay and error injection.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
