ext4: prevent race while walking extent tree for fiemap
Currently ext4_ext_walk_space() only takes i_data_sem for read when searching for the extent at given block with ext4_ext_find_extent(). Then it drops the lock and the extent tree can be changed at will. However later on we're searching for the 'next' extent, but the extent tree might already have changed, so the information might not be accurate. In fact we can hit BUG_ON(end <= start) if the extent got inserted into the tree after the one we found and before the block we were searching for. This has been reproduced by running xfstests 225 in loop on s390x architecture, but theoretically we could hit this on any other architecture as well, but probably not as often. Moreover the extent currently in delayed allocation might be allocated after we search the extent tree and before we search extent status tree delayed buffers resulting in those delayed buffers being completely missed, even though completely written and allocated. We fix all those problems in several steps: 1. remove unnecessary callback indirection 2. rename functions ext4_ext_walk_space -> ext4_fill_fiemap_extents ext4_ext_fiemap_cb -> ext4_find_delayed_extent 3. move fiemap_fill_next_extent() into ext4_fill_fiemap_extents() 4. hold the i_data_sem for: ext4_ext_find_extent() ext4_ext_next_allocated_block() ext4_find_delayed_extent() 5. call fiemap_fill_next_extent after releasing the i_data_sem 6. move path reinitialization into the critical section.
