When trying to see if we can clone a file range, there are cases where we end up sending two write operations in case the inode from the source root has an i_size that is not sector size aligned and the length from the current offset to its i_size is less than the remaining length we are trying to clone. Issuing two write operations when we could instead issue a single write operation is not incorrect. However it is not optimal, specially if the extents are compressed and the flag BTRFS_SEND_FLAG_COMPRESSED was passed to the send ioctl. In that case we can end up sending an encoded write with an offset that is not sector size aligned, which makes the receiver fallback to decompressing the data and writing it using regular buffered IO (so re-compressing the data in case the fs is mounted with compression enabled), because encoded writes fail with -EINVAL when an offset is not sector size aligned. The following example, which triggered a bug in the receiver code for the fallback logic of decompressing + regular buffer IO and is fixed by the patchset referred in a Link at the bottom of this changelog, is an example where we have the non-optimal behaviour due to an unaligned encoded write: $ cat test.sh #!/bin/bash DEV=/dev/sdj MNT=/mnt/sdj mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV > /dev/null mount -o compress $DEV $MNT # File foo has a size of 33K, not aligned to the sector size. xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xab 0 33K" $MNT/foo xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xcd 0 64K" $MNT/bar # Now clone the first 32K of file bar into foo at offset 0. xfs_io -c "reflink $MNT/bar 0 0 32K" $MNT/foo # Snapshot the default subvolume and create a full send stream (v2). btrfs subvolume snapshot -r $MNT $MNT/snap btrfs send --compressed-data -f /tmp/test.send $MNT/snap echo -e "\nFile bar in the original filesystem:" od -A d -t x1 $MNT/snap/bar umount $MNT mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV > /dev/null mount $DEV $MNT echo -e "\nReceiving stream in a new filesystem..." btrfs receive -f /tmp/test.send $MNT echo -e "\nFile bar in the new filesystem:" od -A d -t x1 $MNT/snap/bar umount $MNT Before this patch, the send stream included one regular write and one encoded write for file 'bar', with the later being not sector size aligned and causing the receiver to fallback to decompression + buffered writes. The output of the btrfs receive command in verbose mode (-vvv): (...) mkfile o258-7-0 rename o258-7-0 -> bar utimes clone bar - source=foo source offset=0 offset=0 length=32768 write bar - offset=32768 length=1024 encoded_write bar - offset=33792, len=4096, unencoded_offset=33792, unencoded_file_len=31744, unencoded_len=65536, compression=1, encryption=0 encoded_write bar - falling back to decompress and write due to errno 22 ("Invalid argument") (...) This patch avoids the regular write followed by an unaligned encoded write so that we end up sending a single encoded write that is aligned. So after this patch the stream content is (output of btrfs receive -vvv): (...) mkfile o258-7-0 rename o258-7-0 -> bar utimes clone bar - source=foo source offset=0 offset=0 length=32768 encoded_write bar - offset=32768, len=4096, unencoded_offset=32768, unencoded_file_len=32768, unencoded_len=65536, compression=1, encryption=0 (...) So we get more optimal behaviour and avoid the silent data loss bug in versions of btrfs-progs affected by the bug referred by the Link tag below (btrfs-progs v5.19, v5.19.1, v6.0 and v6.0.1).
