A data corruption problem was reported by CoreOS image builders
when using reflink based disk image copies and then converting
them to qcow2 images. The converted images failed the conversion
verification step, and it was isolated down to the fact that
qemu-img uses SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA to find the data it is supposed to
copy.
The reproducer allowed me to isolate the issue down to a region of
the file that had overlapping data and COW fork extents, and the
problem was that the COW fork extent was being reported in it's
entirity by xfs_seek_iomap_begin() and so skipping over the real
data fork extents in that range.
This was somewhat hidden by the fact that 'xfs_bmap -vvp' reported
all the extents correctly, and reading the file completely (i.e. not
using seek to skip holes) would map the file correctly and all the
correct data extents are read. Hence the problem is isolated to just
the xfs_seek_iomap_begin() implementation.
Instrumentation with trace_printk made the problem obvious: we are
passing the wrong length to xfs_trim_extent() in
xfs_seek_iomap_begin(). We are passing the end_fsb, not the
maximum length of the extent we want to trim the map too. Hence the
COW extent map never gets trimmed to the start of the next data fork
extent, and so the seek code treats the entire COW fork extent as
unwritten and skips entirely over the data fork extents in that
range.

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.
