Dave Chinner b39989009b xfs: fix data corruption w/ unaligned reflink ranges
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.

XFS only supports whole block sharing, but we still need to
support whole file reflink correctly.  Hence 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.

This avoids the data corruption vector, but also avoids disruption
of returning EINVAL to userspace for the common case of whole file
cloning.

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.
