When doing an incremental send, while processing an extent that changed
between the parent and send snapshots and that extent was an inline extent
in the parent snapshot, it's possible to access a memory region beyond
the end of leaf if the inline extent is very small and it is the first
item in a leaf.

An example scenario is described below.

The send snapshot has the following leaf:

 leaf 33865728 items 33 free space 773 generation 46 owner 5
 fs uuid ab7090d8-dafd-4fb9-9246-723b6d2e2fb7
 chunk uuid 2d16478c-c704-4ab9-b574-68bff2281b1f
        (...)
        item 14 key (335 EXTENT_DATA 0) itemoff 3052 itemsize 53
                generation 36 type 1 (regular)
                extent data disk byte 12791808 nr 4096
                extent data offset 0 nr 4096 ram 4096
                extent compression 0 (none)
        item 15 key (335 EXTENT_DATA 8192) itemoff 2999 itemsize 53
                generation 36 type 1 (regular)
                extent data disk byte 138170368 nr 225280
                extent data offset 0 nr 225280 ram 225280
                extent compression 0 (none)
        (...)

And the parent snapshot has the following leaf:

 leaf 31272960 items 17 free space 17 generation 31 owner 5
 fs uuid ab7090d8-dafd-4fb9-9246-723b6d2e2fb7
 chunk uuid 2d16478c-c704-4ab9-b574-68bff2281b1f
        item 0 key (335 EXTENT_DATA 0) itemoff 3951 itemsize 44
                generation 31 type 0 (inline)
                inline extent data size 23 ram_bytes 613 compression 1 (zlib)
        (...)

When computing the send stream, it is detected that the extent of inode
335, at file offset 0, and at fs/btrfs/send.c:is_extent_unchanged() we
grab the leaf from the parent snapshot and access the inline extent item.
However, before jumping to the 'out' label, we access the 'offset' and
'disk_bytenr' fields of the extent item, which should not be done for
inline extents since the inlined data starts at the offset of the
'disk_bytenr' field and can be very small. For example accessing the
'offset' field of the file extent item results in the following trace:

This is because the 'offset' field starts at an offset of 37 bytes
(offsetof(struct btrfs_file_extent_item, offset)), has a length of 8
bytes and therefore attemping to read it causes a 1 byte access beyond
the end of the leaf, as the first item's content in a leaf is located
at the tail of the leaf, the item size is 44 bytes and the offset of
that field plus its length (37 + 8 = 45) goes beyond the item's size
by 1 byte.

So fix this by accessing the 'offset' and 'disk_bytenr' fields after
jumping to the 'out' label if we are processing an inline extent. We
move the reading operation of the 'disk_bytenr' field too because we
have the same problem as for the 'offset' field explained above when
the inline data is less then 8 bytes. The access to the 'generation'
field is also moved but just for the sake of grouping access to all
the fields.

<content type='text'>
In some scenarios an incremental send stream can contain link commands
with an invalid target path. Such scenarios happen after moving some
directory inode A, renaming a regular file inode B into the old name of
inode A and finally creating a new hard link for inode B at directory
inode A.

Consider the following example scenario where this issue happens.

Parent snapshot:

  .                                                      (ino 256)
  |
  |--- dir1/                                             (ino 257)
  |      |--- dir2/                                      (ino 258)
  |             |--- dir3/                               (ino 259)
  |                   |--- file1                         (ino 261)
  |                   |--- dir4/                         (ino 262)
  |
  |--- dir5/                                             (ino 260)

Send snapshot:

  .                                                      (ino 256)
  |
  |--- dir1/                                             (ino 257)
         |--- dir2/                                      (ino 258)
         |      |--- dir3/                               (ino 259)
         |            |--- dir4                          (ino 261)
         |
         |--- dir6/                                      (ino 263)
                |--- dir44/                              (ino 262)
                       |--- file11                       (ino 261)
                       |--- dir55/                       (ino 260)

When attempting to apply the corresponding incremental send stream, a
link command contains an invalid target path which makes the receiver
fail. The following is the verbose output of the btrfs receive command:

  receiving snapshot mysnap2 uuid=90076fe6-5ba6-e64a-9321-9279670ed16b (...)
  utimes
  utimes dir1
  utimes dir1/dir2/dir3
  utimes
  rename dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4 -&gt; o262-7-0
  link dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4 -&gt; dir1/dir2/dir3/file1
  link dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4/file11 -&gt; dir1/dir2/dir3/file1
  ERROR: link dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4/file11 -&gt; dir1/dir2/dir3/file1 failed: Not a directory

The following steps happen during the computation of the incremental send
stream the lead to this issue:

1) When processing inode 261, we orphanize inode 262 due to a name/location
   collision with one of the new hard links for inode 261 (created in the
   second step below).

2) We create one of the 2 new hard links for inode 261, the one whose
   location is at "dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4".

3) We then attempt to create the other new hard link for inode 261, which
   has inode 262 as its parent directory. Because the path for this new
   hard link was computed before we started processing the new references
   (hard links), it reflects the old name/location of inode 262, that is,
   it does not account for the orphanization step that happened when
   we started processing the new references for inode 261, whence it is
   no longer valid, causing the receiver to fail.

So fix this issue by recomputing the full path of new references if we
ended up orphanizing other inodes which are directories.

A test case for fstests follows soon.

Since iterate_dir_item checks name_len in its own way,
so use btrfs_is_name_len_valid not 'verify_dir_item' to make more strict
name_len check.

An incremental send can contain unlink operations with an invalid target
path when we rename some directory inode A, then rename some file inode B
to the old name of inode A and directory inode A is an ancestor of inode B
in the parent snapshot (but not anymore in the send snapshot).

Consider the following example scenario where this issue happens.

Parent snapshot:

 .                                                      (ino 256)

       |     |--- file3                                 (ino 261)
       |
       |--- dir3/                                       (ino 262)

             |--- dir4/                                 (ino 263)

Send snapshot:

 .                                                      (ino 256)
 |
 |--- dir1/                                             (ino 257)
       |--- dir2/                                       (ino 258)
       |--- dir3                                        (ino 260)

                   |--- file11                          (ino 269)
                   |--- file33                          (ino 261)

When attempting to apply the corresponding incremental send stream, an
unlink operation contains an invalid path which makes the receiver fail.
The following is verbose output of the btrfs receive command:

 receiving snapshot snap2 uuid=7d5450da-a573-e043-a451-ec85f4879f0f (...)

 link dir1/dir3 -&gt; o262-7-0/file22
 unlink dir1/dir3/file22
 ERROR: unlink dir1/dir3/file22 failed. Not a directory

The following steps happen during the computation of the incremental send
stream the lead to this issue:

1) Before we start processing the new and deleted references for inode
   260, we compute the full path of the deleted reference
   ("dir1/dir3/file22") and cache it in the list of deleted references
   for our inode.

2) We then start processing the new references for inode 260, for which
   there is only one new, located at "dir1/dir3". When processing this
   new reference, we check that inode 262, which was not yet processed,
   collides with the new reference and because of that we orphanize
   inode 262 so its new full path becomes "o262-7-0".

3) After the orphanization of inode 262, we create the new reference for
   inode 260 by issuing a link command with a target path of "dir1/dir3"
   and a source path of "o262-7-0/file22".

4) We then start processing the deleted references for inode 260, for
   which there is only one with the base name of "file22", and issue
   an unlink operation containing the target path computed at step 1,
   which is wrong because that path no longer exists and should be
   replaced with "o262-7-0/file22".

So fix this issue by recomputing the full path of deleted references if
when we processed the new references for an inode we ended up orphanizing
any other inode that is an ancestor of our inode in the parent snapshot.

A test case for fstests follows soon.

<id>urn:sha1:72c3668fed2b3eec7c6fc059e7b54855361e3011</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently an incremental snapshot can generate link operations which
contain an invalid target path. Such case happens when in the send
snapshot a file was renamed, a new hard link added for it and some
other inode (with a lower number) got renamed to the former name of
that file. Example:

Parent snapshot

 .                  (ino 256)
 |
 |--- f1            (ino 257)
 |--- f2            (ino 258)
 |--- f3            (ino 259)

Send snapshot

 .                  (ino 256)
 |
 |--- f2            (ino 257)
 |--- f3            (ino 258)
 |--- f4            (ino 259)
 |--- f5            (ino 258)

The following steps happen when computing the incremental send stream:

1) When processing inode 257, inode 258 is orphanized (renamed to
   "o258-7-0"), because its current reference has the same name as the
   new reference for inode 257;

2) When processing inode 258, we iterate over all its new references,
   which have the names "f3" and "f5". The first iteration sees name
   "f5" and renames the inode from its orphan name ("o258-7-0") to
   "f5", while the second iteration sees the name "f3" and, incorrectly,
   issues a link operation with a target name matching the orphan name,
   which no longer exists. The first iteration had reset the current
   valid path of the inode to "f5", but in the second iteration we lost
   it because we found another inode, with a higher number of 259, which
   has a reference named "f3" as well, so we orphanized inode 259 and
   recomputed the current valid path of inode 258 to its old orphan
   name because inode 259 could be an ancestor of inode 258 and therefore
   the current valid path could contain the pre-orphanization name of
   inode 259. However in this case inode 259 is not an ancestor of inode
   258 so the current valid path should not be recomputed.
   This makes the receiver fail with the following error:

   ERROR: link f3 -&gt; o258-7-0 failed: No such file or directory

So fix this by not recomputing the current valid path for an inode
whenever we find a colliding reference from some not yet processed inode
(inode number higher then the one currently being processed), unless
that other inode is an ancestor of the one we are currently processing.

A test case for fstests will follow soon.

We use a growing buffer for xattrs larger than a page size, at some
point vmalloc is unconditionally used for larger buffers. We can still
try to avoid it using the kvmalloc helper.

The logic of kmalloc and vmalloc fallback is opencoded in
several places, we can now use the existing helper.

Pull btrfs updates from Chris Mason:
 "This has fixes and cleanups Dave Sterba collected for the merge
  window.

  The biggest functional fixes are between btrfs raid5/6 and scrub, and
  raid5/6 and device replacement. Some of our pending qgroup fixes are
  included as well while I bash on the rest in testing.

  We also have the usual set of cleanups, including one that makes
  __btrfs_map_block() much more maintainable, and conversions from
  atomic_t to refcount_t"

There are many code paths opencoding kvmalloc.  Let's use the helper
instead.  The main difference to kvmalloc is that those users are
usually not considering all the aspects of the memory allocator.  E.g.
allocation requests &lt;= 32kB (with 4kB pages) are basically never failing
and invoke OOM killer to satisfy the allocation.  This sounds too
disruptive for something that has a reasonable fallback - the vmalloc.
On the other hand those requests might fallback to vmalloc even when the
memory allocator would succeed after several more reclaim/compaction
attempts previously.  There is no guarantee something like that happens
though.

This patch converts many of those places to kv[mz]alloc* helpers because
they are more conservative.
