When a full-file exchangerange is requested with FILE1_WRITTEN for a fully sparse donor file, every mapping pair is skipped, so no extents actually move. However, the kernel decides to swap the reflink inode flag based on the request geometry alone, so the target file used to lose its reflink flag to the donor while still owning shared extents. A subsequent write then took the non-reflink write path and modified the shared physical blocks in place, silently corrupting the other file sharing them: --- tests/xfs/842.out +++ results/xfs/842.out.bad @@ -1,3 +1,4 @@ QA output created by 842 +vX.reflink = 0 vX.reflink = 1 -vX.reflink = 1 +orig changed: md5 e6065c4aa2ab1603008fc18410f579d4 -> 32c5189478e6bafa1cc76423f06c88f2 (write hit shared blocks in place) This test clones a file so that both share extents, swaps the clone against a sparse donor with FILE1_WRITTEN, and then checks the defect twice. First it inspects the inodes directly with xfs_db: the clone must still be flagged reflink after the exchange (the donor carrying the flag too is the conservative outcome of the fix and is harmless). Then it writes to the clone and verifies after a mount cycle that the original file's data is intact, i.e. the write was redirected through CoW. The kernel fix "xfs: fix exchange-range reflink flag clearing issue with INO1_WRITTEN" refuses the reflink flag exchange whenever FILE1_WRITTEN is requested, which makes this test pass.
