Enhance btrfs_verify_dev_extents() to remember previous checked dev
extents, so it can verify no dev extents can overlap.
Analysis from Hans:
"Imagine allocating a DATA|DUP chunk.
In the chunk allocator, we first set...
max_stripe_size = SZ_1G;
max_chunk_size = BTRFS_MAX_DATA_CHUNK_SIZE
... which is 10GiB.
Then...
/* we don't want a chunk larger than 10% of writeable space */
max_chunk_size = min(div_factor(fs_devices->total_rw_bytes, 1),
max_chunk_size);
Imagine we only have one 7880MiB block device in this filesystem. Now
max_chunk_size is down to 788MiB.
The next step in the code is to search for max_stripe_size * dev_stripes
amount of free space on the device, which is in our example 1GiB * 2 =
2GiB. Imagine the device has exactly 1578MiB free in one contiguous
piece. This amount of bytes will be put in devices_info[ndevs - 1].max_avail
Next we recalculate the stripe_size (which is actually the device extent
length), based on the actual maximum amount of available raw disk space:
stripe_size = div_u64(devices_info[ndevs - 1].max_avail, dev_stripes);
stripe_size is now 789MiB
Next we do...
data_stripes = num_stripes / ncopies
...where data_stripes ends up as 1, because num_stripes is 2 (the amount
of device extents we're going to have), and DUP has ncopies 2.
Next there's a check...
if (stripe_size * data_stripes > max_chunk_size)
...which matches because 789MiB * 1 > 788MiB.
We go into the if code, and next is...
stripe_size = div_u64(max_chunk_size, data_stripes);
...which resets stripe_size to max_chunk_size: 788MiB
Next is a fun one...
/* bump the answer up to a 16MB boundary */
stripe_size = round_up(stripe_size, SZ_16M);
...which changes stripe_size from 788MiB to 800MiB.
We're not done changing stripe_size yet...
/* But don't go higher than the limits we found while searching
* for free extents
*/
stripe_size = min(devices_info[ndevs - 1].max_avail,
stripe_size);
This is bad. max_avail is twice the stripe_size (we need to fit 2 device
extents on the same device for DUP).
The result here is that 800MiB < 1578MiB, so it's unchanged. However,
the resulting DUP chunk will need 1600MiB disk space, which isn't there,
and the second dev_extent might extend into the next thing (next
dev_extent? end of device?) for 22MiB.
The last shown line of code relies on a situation where there's twice
the value of stripe_size present as value for the variable stripe_size
when it's DUP. This was actually the case before commit

README
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.
