We want to use this everywhere we modify the file extent items permanently. These include: 1) Inserting new file extents for writes and prealloc extents. 2) Truncating inode items. 3) btrfs_cont_expand(). 4) Insert inline extents. 5) Insert new extents from log replay. 6) Insert a new extent for clone, as it could be past i_size. 7) Hole punching For hole punching in particular it might seem it's not necessary because anybody extending would use btrfs_cont_expand, however there is a corner that still can give us trouble. Start with an empty file and fallocate KEEP_SIZE 1M-2M We now have a 0 length file, and a hole file extent from 0-1M, and a prealloc extent from 1M-2M. Now punch 1M-1.5M Because this is past i_size we have [HOLE EXTENT][ NOTHING ][PREALLOC] [0 1M][1M 1.5M][1.5M 2M] with an i_size of 0. Now if we pwrite 0-1.5M we'll increas our i_size to 1.5M, but our disk_i_size is still 0 until the ordered extent completes. However if we now immediately truncate 2M on the file we'll just call btrfs_cont_expand(inode, 1.5M, 2M), since our old i_size is 1.5M. If we commit the transaction here and crash we'll expose the gap. To fix this we need to clear the file extent mapping for the range that we punched but didn't insert a corresponding file extent for. This will mean the truncate will only get an disk_i_size set to 1M if we crash before the finish ordered io happens. I've written an xfstest to reproduce the problem and validate this fix.

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.
