A deduplication data corruption is exposed in XFS and btrfs. It is caused by extending the block match range to include the partial EOF block, but then allowing unknown data beyond EOF to be considered a "match" to data in the destination file because the comparison is only made to the end of the source file. This corrupts the destination file when the source extent is shared with it. The VFS remapping prep functions only support whole block dedupe, but we still need to appear to support whole file dedupe correctly. Hence if the dedupe request includes the last block of the souce file, don't include it in the actual dedupe operation. If the rest of the range dedupes successfully, then reject the entire request. A subsequent patch will enable us to shorten dedupe requests correctly. When reflinking sub-file ranges, a data corruption can occur when the source file range includes a partial EOF block. This shares the unknown data beyond EOF into the second file at a position inside EOF, exposing stale data in the second file. If the reflink request includes the last block of the souce file, only proceed with the reflink operation if it lands at or past the destination file's current EOF. If it lands within the destination file EOF, reject the entire request with -EINVAL and make the caller go the hard way. A subsequent patch will enable us to shorten reflink requests correctly.

README
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
