Filipe Manana 312f65d29d Btrfs: make deduplication with range including the last block work 
commit 831d2fa25a upstream.

Since btrfs was migrated to use the generic VFS helpers for clone and
deduplication, it stopped allowing for the last block of a file to be
deduplicated when the source file size is not sector size aligned (when
eof is somewhere in the middle of the last block). There are two reasons
for that:

1) The generic code always rounds down, to a multiple of the block size,
   the range's length for deduplications. This means we end up never
   deduplicating the last block when the eof is not block size aligned,
   even for the safe case where the destination range's end offset matches
   the destination file's size. That rounding down operation is done at
   generic_remap_check_len();

2) Because of that, the btrfs specific code does not expect anymore any
   non-aligned range length's for deduplication and therefore does not
   work if such nona-aligned length is given.

This patch addresses that second part, and it depends on a patch that
fixes generic_remap_check_len(), in the VFS, which was submitted ealier
and has the following subject:

  "fs: allow deduplication of eof block into the end of the destination file"

These two patches address reports from users that started seeing lower
deduplication rates due to the last block never being deduplicated when
the file size is not aligned to the filesystem's block size.

README 

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.
