commita5e6ea18e3upstream. We always round down, to a multiple of the filesystem's block size, the length to deduplicate at generic_remap_check_len(). However this is only needed if an attempt to deduplicate the last block into the middle of the destination file is requested, since that leads into a corruption if the length of the source file is not block size aligned. When an attempt to deduplicate the last block into the end of the destination file is requested, we should allow it because it is safe to do it - there's no stale data exposure and we are prepared to compare the data ranges for a length not aligned to the block (or page) size - in fact we even do the data compare before adjusting the deduplication length. After btrfs was updated to use the generic helpers from VFS (by commit34a28e3d77("Btrfs: use generic_remap_file_range_prep() for cloning and deduplication")) we started to have user reports of deduplication not reflinking the last block anymore, and whence users getting lower deduplication scores. The main use case is deduplication of entire files that have a size not aligned to the block size of the filesystem. We already allow cloning the last block to the end (and beyond) of the destination file, so allow for deduplication as well.

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.
