Btrfs: fix hole extent items with a zero size after range cloning
Normally when cloning a file range if we find an implicit hole at the end of the range we assume it is because the NO_HOLES feature is enabled. However that is not always the case. One well known case [1] is when we have a power failure after mixing buffered and direct IO writes against the same file. In such cases we need to punch a hole in the destination file, and if the NO_HOLES feature is not enabled, we need to insert explicit file extent items to represent the hole. After commit 690a5dbf ("Btrfs: fix ENOSPC errors, leading to transaction aborts, when cloning extents"), we started to insert file extent items representing the hole with an item size of 0, which is invalid and should be 53 bytes (the size of a btrfs_file_extent_item structure), resulting in all sorts of corruptions and invalid memory accesses. This is detected by the tree checker when we attempt to write a leaf to disk. The problem can be sporadically triggered by test case generic/561 from fstests. That test case does not exercise power failure and creates a new filesystem when it starts, so it does not use a filesystem created by any previous test that tests power failure. However the test does both buffered and direct IO writes (through fsstress) and it's precisely that which is creating the implicit holes in files. That happens even before the commit mentioned earlier. I need to investigate why we get those implicit holes to check if there is a real problem or not. For now this change fixes the regression of introducing file extent items with an item size of 0 bytes. Fix the issue by calling btrfs_punch_hole_range() without passing a btrfs_clone_extent_info structure, which ensures file extent items are inserted to represent the hole with a correct item size. We were passing a btrfs_clone_extent_info with a value of 0 for its 'item_size' field, which was causing the insertion of file extent items with an item size of 0.
