Btrfs: fix hole detection during file fsync
The file hole detection logic during a file fsync wasn't correct, because it didn't look back (in a previous leaf) for the last file extent item that can be in a leaf to the left of our leaf and that has a generation lower than the current transaction id. This made it assume that a hole exists when it really doesn't exist in the file. Such false positive hole detection happens in the following scenario: * We have a file that has many file extent items, covering 3 or more btree leafs (the first leaf must contain non file extent items too). * Two ranges of the file are modified, with their extent items being located at 2 different leafs and those leafs aren't consecutive. * When processing the second modified leaf, we weren't checking if some file extent item exists that is located in some leaf that is between our 2 modified leafs, and therefore assumed the range defined between the last file extent item in the first leaf and the first file extent item in the second leaf matched a hole. Fortunately this didn't result in overriding the log with wrong data, instead it made the last loop in copy_items() attempt to insert a duplicated key (for a hole file extent item), which makes the file fsync code return with -EEXIST to file.c:btrfs_sync_file() which in turn ends up doing a full transaction commit, which is much more expensive then writing only to the log tree and wait for it to be durably persisted (as well as the file's modified extents/pages). Therefore fix the hole detection logic, so that we don't pay the cost of doing full transaction commits. I could trigger this issue with the following test for xfstests (which never fails, either without or with this patch). The last fsync call results in a full transaction commit, due to the -EEXIST error mentioned above. I could also observe this behaviour happening frequently when running xfstests/generic/075 in a loop.
