When handling deduplicated compressed data, there can be multiple
decompressed extents pointing to the same compressed data in one shot.
In such cases, the bvecs which belong to the longest extent will be
selected as the primary bvecs for real decompressors to decode and the
other duplicated bvecs will be directly copied from the primary bvecs.
Previously, only relative offsets of the longest extent were checked to
decompress the primary bvecs. On rare occasions, it can be incorrect
if there are several extents with the same start relative offset.
As a result, some short bvecs could be selected for decompression and
then cause data corruption.
For example, as Shijie Sun reported off-list, considering the following
extents of a file:
117: 903345.. 915250 | 11905 : 385024.. 389120 | 4096
...
119: 919729.. 930323 | 10594 : 385024.. 389120 | 4096
...
124: 968881.. 980786 | 11905 : 385024.. 389120 | 4096
The start relative offset is the same: 2225, but extent 119 (919729..
930323) is shorter than the others.
Let's restrict the bvec length in addition to the start offset if bvecs
are not full.

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.
