    xfs: fix fstrim offset calculations · a66d6363
    Dave Chinner authored
    xfs_ioc_fstrim() doesn't treat the incoming offset and length
    correctly. It treats them as a filesystem block address, rather than
    a disk address. This is wrong because the range passed in is a
    linear representation, while the filesystem block address notation
    is a sparse representation. Hence we cannot convert the range direct
    to filesystem block units and then use that for calculating the
    range to trim.
    
    While this sounds dangerous, the problem is limited to calculating
    what AGs need to be trimmed. The code that calcuates the actual
    ranges to trim gets the right result (i.e. only ever discards free
    space), even though it uses the wrong ranges to limit what is
    trimmed. Hence this is not a bug that endangers user data.
    
    Fix this by treating the range as a disk address range and use the
    appropriate functions to convert the range into the desired formats
    for calculations.
    
    Further, fix the first free extent lookup (the longest) to actually
    find the largest free extent. Currently this lookup uses a <=
    lookup, which results in finding the extent to the left of the
    largest because we can never get an exact match on the largest
    extent. This is due to the fact that while we know it's size, we
    don't know it's location and so the exact match fails and we move
    one record to the left to get the next largest extent. Instead, use
    a >= search so that the lookup returns the largest extent regardless
    of the fact we don't get an exact match on it.
