Christoph Hellwig 61ada94220 iomap: improve shared block detection in iomap_unshare_iter
[ Upstream commit b53fdb215d13f8e9c29541434bf2d14dac8bcbdc ]

Currently iomap_unshare_iter relies on the IOMAP_F_SHARED flag to detect
blocks to unshare.  This is reasonable, but IOMAP_F_SHARED is also useful
for the file system to do internal book keeping for out of place writes.
XFS used to that, until it got removed in commit 72a048c105
("xfs: only set IOMAP_F_SHARED when providing a srcmap to a write")
because unshare for incorrectly unshare such blocks.

Add an extra safeguard by checking the explicitly provided srcmap instead
of the fallback to the iomap for valid data, as that catches the case
where we'd just copy from the same place we'd write to easily, allowing
to reinstate setting IOMAP_F_SHARED for all XFS writes that go to the
COW fork.

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.
