FSCTL_DUPLICATE_EXTENTS_TO_FILE changes the target file extents on the
server, but the client does not refresh the target AllocationSize/i_blocks.
Callers can observe or use the wrong st_blocks value immediately after the
clone, before a later attribute revalidation corrects it.
For example, create a reflinked file with a leading hole:
xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0x61 0 64k" src
touch dst
chmod 600 dst
xfs_io -c "reflink src 0 1m 64k" dst
mkswap dst
swapon dst
The file still has a hole after mkswap:
/mnt/scratch/dst:
[0..7]: allocated
[8..2047]: hole
[2048..2175]: allocated
The server also reports only the allocated ranges:
server dst size=1114112 blocks=144
but the client reported EOF-derived blocks:
client dst size=1114112 blocks=2176
and swapon succeeded:
swapon_result=success
/mnt/scratch/dst 1.1M 0B -1
So EOF-derived i_blocks can let a sparse reflinked file pass the CIFS
swapfile hole check.
Fix this by querying FILE_ALL_INFORMATION on the target handle after a
successful duplicate extents request. Update i_blocks from AllocationSize
and keep the refreshed target inode attributes valid so a following stat
does not immediately revalidate again.
If the query fails, mark the cached inode attributes stale so a later
getattr can refresh them.
This also fixes the xfstests generic/370 regression introduced by the
i_blocks accounting change, as tested on a Samba "vfs objects = btrfs"
share.
Fixes: 99cd0a6eeb6c ("smb/client: do not account EOF extension as allocation")

The fallocate emulation allocates a 1 MiB zero-filled buffer even
though each SMB2_write request is limited to SMB2_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE,
which is 64 KiB. A high-order 1 MiB allocation is more likely to
fail on a fragmented system.
Allocate only the smaller of the requested range and SMB2_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE,
and reuse that zero-filled buffer for every write request. Also reject
a successful write that makes no progress to avoid looping indefinitely.
This reduces the contiguous allocation required by fallocate emulation
without changing the written data or range semantics.

From: Huiwen He <hehuiwen@kylinos.cn>
When a mode 0 fallocate extends EOF from 1G to 2G + 1M, the client
currently sends SetEOF for 2G + 1M. This can make fallocate return
success without allocating the requested range, or allocate extra
space before that range.
For example, on a fresh file:
xfs_io -f \
-c "falloc 0 1G" \
-c "falloc 2G 1M" \
-c "truncate 3G" test
The second fallocate should allocate [2G, 2G + 1M), leaving [1G, 2G)
as a hole.
Before this change, the result depended on the server allocation policy.
With Samba "strict allocate = no", SetEOF could return success without
allocating [2G, 2G + 1M). With "strict allocate = yes":
# filefrag -v test
[0, 1G) allocated
[1G, 2G) allocated unexpectedly
[2G, 2G + 1M) allocated
SMB cannot allocate that arbitrary range, so write zeroes to small
EOF-extending ranges instead. Limit this to 1 MiB to bound the
client-side I/O cost.
With "strict allocate = no", the requested range [2G, 2G + 1M) is
allocated by the writes. With "strict allocate = yes":
# filefrag -v test
[0, 1G) allocated
[1G, 2G) hole
[2G, 2G + 1M) allocated
This fixes the small EOF-extending range case exercised by generic/213.

Before this change, xfstests generic/496 was not supported on ksmbd:
generic/496 ... [not run] fallocated swap not supported here
ksmbd handles SetEOF as truncate, so EOF extension alone does not
allocate backing blocks. A fallocated swapfile can therefore still
look sparse to swapon.
Request allocation for EOF-extending fallocate ranges that can be
represented by FILE_ALLOCATION_INFORMATION, and refresh the allocation
state afterwards.
With this change, xfstests generic/496 and generic/701 pass on ksmbd.
However, Samba "strict allocate = no" now exposes the real generic/701
failure: the old pass came from inflated local i_blocks, not from
server allocation. generic/213 also fails in that case because an
oversized allocation request may not return ENOSPC.
