H A Dioctl.c1881fba8 Wed Oct 09 19:59:07 CDT 2019 Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com> btrfs: add BTRFS_IOC_ENCODED_READ ioctl

There are 4 main cases:

1. Inline extents: we copy the data straight out of the extent buffer.
2. Hole/preallocated extents: we fill in zeroes.
3. Regular, uncompressed extents: we read the sectors we need directly
from disk.
4. Regular, compressed extents: we read the entire compressed extent
from disk and indicate what subset of the decompressed extent is in
the file.

This initial implementation simplifies a few things that can be improved
in the future:

- Cases 1, 3, and 4 allocate temporary memory to read into before
copying out to userspace.
- We don't do read repair, because it turns out that read repair is
currently broken for compressed data.
- We hold the inode lock during the operation.

Note that we don't need to hold the mmap lock. We may race with
btrfs_page_mkwrite() and read the old data from before the page was
dirtied:

btrfs_page_mkwrite btrfs_encoded_read
---------------------------------------------------
(enter) (enter)
btrfs_wait_ordered_range
lock_extent_bits
btrfs_page_set_dirty
unlock_extent_cached
(exit)
lock_extent_bits
read extent (dirty page hasn't been flushed,
so this is the old data)
unlock_extent_cached
(exit)

we read the old data from before the page was dirtied. But, that's true
even if we were to hold the mmap lock:

btrfs_page_mkwrite btrfs_encoded_read
-------------------------------------------------------------------
(enter) (enter)
btrfs_inode_lock(BTRFS_ILOCK_MMAP)
down_read(i_mmap_lock) (blocked)
btrfs_wait_ordered_range
lock_extent_bits
read extent (page hasn't been dirtied,
so this is the old data)
unlock_extent_cached
btrfs_inode_unlock(BTRFS_ILOCK_MMAP)
down_read(i_mmap_lock) returns
lock_extent_bits
btrfs_page_set_dirty
unlock_extent_cached

In other words, this is inherently racy, so it's fine that we return the
old data in this tiny window.
