btrfs: update generation of hole file extent item when merging holes
When punching a hole into a file range that is adjacent with a hole and we are not using the no-holes feature, we expand the range of the adjacent file extent item that represents a hole, to save metadata space. However we don't update the generation of hole file extent item, which means a full fsync will not log that file extent item if the fsync happens in a later transaction (since commit 7f30c072 ("btrfs: stop copying old file extents when doing a full fsync")). For example, if we do this: $ mkfs.btrfs -f -O ^no-holes /dev/sdb $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt $ xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xab 2M 2M" /mnt/foobar $ sync We end up with 2 file extent items in our file: 1) One that represents the hole for the file range [0, 2M), with a generation of 7; 2) Another one that represents an extent covering the range [2M, 4M). After that if we do the following: $ xfs_io -c "fpunch 2M 2M" /mnt/foobar We end up with a single file extent item in the file, which represents a hole for the range [0, 4M) and with a generation of 7 - because we end dropping the data extent for range [2M, 4M) and then update the file extent item that represented the hole at [0, 2M), by increasing length from 2M to 4M. Then doing a full fsync and power failing: $ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/foobar <power failure> will result in the full fsync not logging the file extent item that represents the hole for the range [0, 4M), because its generation is 7, which is lower than the generation of the current transaction (8). As a consequence, after mounting again the filesystem (after log replay), the region [2M, 4M) does not have a hole, it still points to the previous data extent. So fix this by always updating the generation of existing file extent items representing holes when we merge/expand them. This solves the problem and it's the same approach as when we merge prealloc extents that got written (at btrfs_mark_extent_written()). Setting the generation to the current transaction's generation is also what we do when merging the new hole extent map with the previous one or the next one. A test case for fstests, covering both cases of hole file extent item merging (to the left and to the right), will be sent soon.
