While trawling through the dedupe file comparison code trying to fix page deadlocking problems, Dave Chinner noticed that the reflink code only takes shared IOLOCK/MMAPLOCKs on the source file. Because page_mkwrite and directio writes do not take the EXCL versions of those locks, this means that reflink can race with writer processes. For pure remapping this can lead to undefined behavior and file corruption; for dedupe this means that we cannot be sure that the contents are identical when we decide to go ahead with the remapping.
