Hello Zach,

	Here's an untested patch which

	-removes send_off and set_fs
	-calls kernel_write with ppos 0

but I don't know if something like adding filp->f_pos = pos
at the end of write_buf would be enough to replace send_off ...

Regards,
Fabian

Try testing it.  It's easy with virtualization and xfstests.

You'll find that sending to a file fails because each individual file
write call that makes up a send starts at offset 0 -- at the start of
the file.

Getting this right means getting the semantics around updating the send
descriptors f_pos right.  It requires having a bit of a think about send
semantics and f_pos update locking.

Thanks for those informations Zach,

I've tried btrfs test scripts related to ioctl in xfstests (tests/btrfs/025,
035, 052, 055)
but was not able to trigger that problem. Do I have to create another script,
use some generic one
or maybe use big test/scratch devices ?

Fabian

No idea, sorry.  Maybe your patch is fine and I'm a dummy.  Maybe you
didn't test the kernel you thought you were testing.  Maybe the test
doesn't test what you changed.  You'll have to do some investigating to
find out.

After checking both kernel and btrfs-progs, it seems file offset is only being
passed through TLV(see send.c/ send_write/
TLV_PUT_U64(BTRFS_SEND_A_FILE_OFFSET). Tell me if I'm wrong but when we do
'btrfs send backup  | btrfs receive backupvolume',
btrfs-progs calls btrfs_ioctl_send emitting several BTRFS_SEND_C_WRITE with
relevant BTRFS_SEND_A_FILE_OFFSET (growing by 48kb). At the other side of | ,
'btrfs receive' executes read_and_process_cmd which does TLV_GET before
s->ops->write. All btrfs interactions being done with | maybe we could simply
replace vfs_write stuff as you suggested and remove sctx->send_off ?

Fabian
