Yet another bug was found in xfs_iext_irec_compact_full() and while the
source of the bug was found it wasn't an easy task to track it down
because the conditions are very difficult to reproduce.
A HUGE thank-you goes to Russell Cattelan and Eric Sandeen for their
significant effort in tracking down the source of this corruption.
xfs_iext_irec_compact_full() and xfs_iext_irec_compact_pages() are almost
identical - they both compact indirect extent lists by moving extents from
subsequent buffers into earlier ones. xfs_iext_irec_compact_pages() only
moves extents if all of the extents in the next buffer will fit into the
empty space in the buffer before it. xfs_iext_irec_compact_full() will go
a step further and move part of the next buffer if all the extents wont
fit. It will then shift the remaining extents in the next buffer up to the
start of the buffer. The bug here was that we did not update er_extoff and
this caused extent list corruption.
It does not appear that this extra functionality gains us much. Calling
xfs_iext_irec_compact_pages() instead will do a good enough job at
compacting the indirect list and will be quicker too.
For the case in xfs_iext_indirect_to_direct() the total number of extents
in the indirect list will fit into one buffer so we will never need the
extra functionality of xfs_iext_irec_compact_full() there.
Also xfs_iext_irec_compact_pages() doesn't need to do a memmove() (the
buffers will never overlap) so we don't want the performance hit that can
incur.
