Btrfs: fix race between shrinking truncate and fiemap
When there is a fiemap executing in parallel with a shrinking truncate we can end up in a situation where we have extent maps for which we no longer have corresponding file extent items. This is generally harmless and at the moment the only consequences are missing file extent items representing holes after we expand the file size again after the truncate operation removed the prealloc extent items, and stale information for future fiemap calls (reporting extents that no longer exist or may have been reallocated to other files for example). Consider the following example: 1) Our inode has a size of 128KiB, one 128KiB extent at file offset 0 and a 1MiB prealloc extent at file offset 128KiB; 2) Task A starts doing a shrinking truncate of our inode to reduce it to a size of 64KiB. Before it searches the subvolume tree for file extent items to delete, it drops all the extent maps in the range from 64KiB to (u64)-1 by calling btrfs_drop_extent_cache(); 3) Task B starts doing a fiemap against our inode. When looking up for the inode's extent maps in the range from 128KiB to (u64)-1, it doesn't find any in the inode's extent map tree, since they were removed by task A. Because it didn't find any in the extent map tree, it scans the inode's subvolume tree for file extent items, and it finds the 1MiB prealloc extent at file offset 128KiB, then it creates an extent map based on that file extent item and adds it to inode's extent map tree (this ends up being done by btrfs_get_extent() <- btrfs_get_extent_fiemap() <- get_extent_skip_holes()); 4) Task A then drops the prealloc extent at file offset 128KiB and shrinks the 128KiB extent file offset 0 to a length of 64KiB. The truncation operation finishes and we end up with an extent map representing a 1MiB prealloc extent at file offset 128KiB, despite we don't have any more that extent; After this the two types of problems we have are: 1) Future calls to fiemap always report that a 1MiB prealloc extent exists at file offset 128KiB. This is stale information, no longer correct; 2) If the size of the file is increased, by a truncate operation that increases the file size or by a write into a file offset > 64KiB for example, we end up not inserting file extent items to represent holes for any range between 128KiB and 128KiB + 1MiB, since the hole expansion function, btrfs_cont_expand() will skip hole insertion for any range for which an extent map exists that represents a prealloc extent. This causes fsck to complain about missing file extent items when not using the NO_HOLES feature. The second issue could be often triggered by test case generic/561 from fstests, which runs fsstress and duperemove in parallel, and duperemove does frequent fiemap calls. Essentially the problems happens because fiemap does not acquire the inode's lock while truncate does, and fiemap locks the file range in the inode's iotree while truncate does not. So fix the issue by making btrfs_truncate_inode_items() lock the file range from the new file size to (u64)-1, so that it serializes with fiemap.
