get_new_location() uses BUG_ON() to crash the kernel if the file extent
item it looks up has any of offset, compression, encryption, or
other_encoding set non-zero. The data reloc inode is only written by
relocation's own paths and the four fields are always 0 in what the
kernel writes:

  - insert_prealloc_file_extent() memsets the stack item to zero and
    only fills in type, disk_bytenr, disk_num_bytes and num_bytes, so
    offset/compression/encryption/other_encoding stay 0.
  - insert_ordered_extent_file_extent() copies oe->compress_type into
    the file extent's compression field, but the data reloc inode is
    created with BTRFS_INODE_NOCOMPRESS so compress_type is always 0;
    encryption and other_encoding are reserved-and-zero in btrfs.

A non-zero value here means the leaf decoded from disk does not match
what the kernel wrote, i.e. on-disk corruption. A malformed image
reaches this code via balance and panics the kernel.

A previous attempt to enforce all four constraints in tree-checker's
check_extent_data_item() was merged as commit 7d0ee95979e9 ("btrfs:
validate data reloc tree file extent item members in tree-checker")
and then reverted by commit 1c034697fcaa after btrfs/061 produced
false positives on arm64 with 64K pages. The reason: relocation
writeback legitimately produces REG file_extent_items with offset != 0
in the data reloc tree. When an ordered extent covers only the back
portion of an underlying PREALLOC (num_bytes < ram_bytes on the input
file_extent), insert_ordered_extent_file_extent() inserts a REG with

  offset    = oe->offset
  num_bytes = oe->num_bytes
  ram_bytes preserved from the original PREALLOC,

and this item can reach disk if a transaction commit fires while it
is present in the leaf.

The four fields belong in different layers:

  - compression, encryption and other_encoding are universal
    invariants for every item in the data reloc tree, regardless of
    cluster geometry. Enforce them in tree-checker's
    check_extent_data_item() so a corrupt leaf is rejected at read
    time.

  - offset is only an invariant at the cluster-boundary keys that
    get_new_location() searches (the key is computed as
    src_disk_bytenr - reloc_block_group_start). Partial-PREALLOC
    writebacks legitimately place REG items at non-boundary keys with
    offset != 0; tree-checker cannot reject these. The cluster-
    boundary item is always written by either
    insert_prealloc_file_extent() (offset=0 by memset) or by the
    front portion of a partial writeback (offset=0 by construction),
    so a non-zero offset there is corruption.

Enforce the universal invariants in check_extent_data_item() with a
file_extent_err() rejection. Convert the BUG_ON() in
get_new_location() to a -EUCLEAN return paired with btrfs_print_leaf()
and btrfs_err() so the offending leaf is logged. The caller in
replace_file_extents() already handles non-zero returns from
get_new_location() by breaking out of the loop without aborting the
transaction.

Changes in v4:
 - Split the check by which layer the invariant holds in. Reject
   compression/encryption/other_encoding != 0 in tree-checker (true
   on-disk invariant for the entire data reloc tree). Keep the offset
   check at the call site in get_new_location() (true only at the
   cluster-boundary keys it searches; partial-PREALLOC writeback
   legitimately produces non-zero offset at non-boundary keys, which
   is why the v3 single-rule approach was reverted).
 - Suggested by Qu Wenruo in reply to v3:
   https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/20260427202822.278326-1-27rabbitlt@gmail.com/

Changes in v3:
 - Moved the entire four-field check from get_new_location() into
   tree-checker's check_extent_data_item(). Replaced BUG_ON() with
   ASSERT() in get_new_location(). Merged as 7d0ee95979e9 and
   reverted by 1c034697fcaa due to false positives in btrfs/061 on
   arm64 64K pages.

Changes in v2:
 - Pair the -EUCLEAN return with btrfs_print_leaf() and btrfs_err()
   so the offending leaf is dumped to dmesg, per Qu's v1 review:
   https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/6c54901d-5e07-4c46-9553-997b28c93b86@suse.com/
 - Expand the changelog to argue why non-zero compression/encryption/
   other_encoding in the data reloc inode imply on-disk corruption
   rather than a kernel bug.
