[PATCH] Btrfs: fix pages truncation in btrfs_ioctl_clone()

[Li Zefan]

It's a bug in commit f81c9cdc567cd3160ff9e64868d9a1a7ee226480
(Btrfs: truncate pages from clone ioctl target range)

We should pass the dest range to the truncate function, but not the
src range.

Also move the function before locking extent state.

Sigh... yes.

Hmm, any reason?  i_mutex protects us from a racing write(2), but what 
about a racing mmap()?  e.g.

cloner: truncates dest pages
writer: mmap -> page_mkwrite locks extent, creates new dirty page, unlocks
cloner: locks extent, clones, unlocks extent

Thanks guys.  The locking order is page lock -> extent lock.  So if we
call truncate_inode_pages with the extent lock held, we're off into
ABBA.

If we want to avoid the mmap race, we'll have to look for the dirty
pages with the extent lock held, drop the lock and goto back to the
truncate_inode_pages call.

(besides Chris' comments)

How can we avoid the race on dst file by locking src file extent state..

Oh right.  This patch makes sense now.

Yeah, given that (at Li points out) we're not locking dst extents at all, 
I don't think it's worth worrying about now.  Sorry for the noise!
