For send we currently skip clone operations when the source and
destination files are the same. This is so because clone didn't support
this case in its early days, but support for it was added back in May
2013 by commit a96fbc72884fcb ("Btrfs: allow file data clone within a
file"). This change adds support for it.
Example:
$ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdd
$ mount /dev/sdd /mnt/sdd
$ xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xab -b 64K 0 64K" /mnt/sdd/foobar
$ xfs_io -c "reflink /mnt/sdd/foobar 0 64K 64K" /mnt/sdd/foobar
$ btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /mnt/sdd /mnt/sdd/snap
$ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sde
$ mount /dev/sde /mnt/sde
$ btrfs send /mnt/sdd/snap | btrfs receive /mnt/sde
Without this change file foobar at the destination has a single 128Kb
extent:
$ filefrag -v /mnt/sde/snap/foobar
Filesystem type is: 9123683e
File size of /mnt/sde/snap/foobar is 131072 (32 blocks of 4096 bytes)
ext: logical_offset: physical_offset: length: expected: flags:
0: 0.. 31: 0.. 31: 32: last,unknown_loc,delalloc,eof
/mnt/sde/snap/foobar: 1 extent found
With this we get a single 64Kb extent that is shared at file offsets 0
and 64K, just like in the source filesystem:
$ filefrag -v /mnt/sde/snap/foobar
Filesystem type is: 9123683e
File size of /mnt/sde/snap/foobar is 131072 (32 blocks of 4096 bytes)
ext: logical_offset: physical_offset: length: expected: flags:
0: 0.. 15: 3328.. 3343: 16: shared
1: 16.. 31: 3328.. 3343: 16: 3344: last,shared,eof
/mnt/sde/snap/foobar: 2 extents found

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.
