Test that COW writeback that overlaps non-shared delalloc blocks
does not leave around stale delalloc blocks on I/O failure. This
triggers assert failures and free space accounting corruption on
XFS.

This test targets the problem addressed by the following patch in XFS:

Please use:

blksz=$(_get_file_block_size $SCRATCH_MNT)
$XFS_IO_PROG -fc "pwrite $blksz $blksz" $SCRATCH_MNT/file1 >> $seqres.full

So that this test will work properly on filesystems with bs > 4k.
Yeah, I'll fix the various hardcoded sizes. Thanks.

Nit: This could be shortened to use the _cp_reflink helper, though it
doesn't really matter to me if you do.
Didn't know we had it. I'll look into it.

Ah, the reason why there's a cow fork extent covering the delalloc
reservation is due to the default cow extent size hint, right?  In that
case, you need:
Yeah..
_require_xfs_io_command "cowextsize"
$XFS_IO_PROG -c "cowextsize 0" $SCRATCH_MNT >> $seqres.full

to ensure that the speculative cow preallocation actually gets set up.
Otherwise, I think test won't reproduce the bug if the test config has
-d cowextsize=1 in the mkfs options.
.. but then we aren't susceptible to the problem, right?

I sometimes waffle on whether it's better for a test to create a
problematic situation and test it, or run on the configuration specified
by the user and test a particular scenario against that. Maybe the
former makes more sense in this very specific test case, but then I
suppose "cowextsize blksz*2" (or whatever large enough value) is
probably more robust than "cowextsize 0" (which I assume means "default"
and thus can change, right)?

$((2 * blksz)), not 8k

Other than that, this looks reasonable to me.  I'll go look at the fix
patch now. :)
