The following commit enhanced the merge_extent_mapping() to reduce
fragment in extent map tree, but it can't handle case which existing
lies before map_start:
51f39 btrfs: Use right extent length when inserting overlap extent map.
[BUG]
When existing extent map's start is before map_start,
the em->len will be minus, which will corrupt the extent map and fail to
insert the new extent map.
This will happen when someone get a large extent map, but when it is
going to insert it into extent map tree, some one has already commit
some write and split the huge extent into small parts.
[REPRODUCER]
It is very easy to tiger using filebench with randomrw personality.
It is about 100% to reproduce when using 8G preallocated file in 60s
randonrw test.
[FIX]
This patch can now handle any existing extent position.
Since it does not directly use existing->start, now it will find the
previous and next extent around map_start.
So the old existing->start < map_start bug will never happen again.
[ENHANCE]
This patch will insert the best fitted extent map into extent map tree,
other than the oldest [map_start, map_start + sectorsize) or the
relatively newer but not perfect [map_start, existing->start).
The patch will first search existing extent that does not intersects with
the desired map range [map_start, map_start + len).
The existing extent will be either before or behind map_start, and based
on the existing extent, we can find out the previous and next extent
around map_start.
So the best fitted extent would be [prev->end, next->start).
For prev or next is not found, em->start would be prev->end and em->end
wold be next->start.
With this patch, the fragment in extent map tree should be reduced much
more than the 51f39 commit and reduce an unneeded extent map tree search.
