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.

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.
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.
