This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled

    Btrfs: fix inode eviction infinite loop after extent_same ioctl

to the linux-3.16.y-queue branch of the 3.16.y-ckt extended stable tree 
which can be found at:

    http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-3.16.y-queue

Subject: Btrfs: fix inode eviction infinite loop after extent_same ioctl

commit 113e8283869b9855c8b999796aadd506bbac155f upstream.

If we pass a length of 0 to the extent_same ioctl, we end up locking an
extent range with a start offset greater then its end offset (if the
destination file's offset is greater than zero). This results in a warning
from extent_io.c:insert_state through the following call chain:

  btrfs_extent_same()
    btrfs_double_lock()
      lock_extent_range()
        lock_extent(inode->io_tree, offset, offset + len - 1)
          lock_extent_bits()
            __set_extent_bit()
              insert_state()
                --> WARN_ON(end < start)

This leads to an infinite loop when evicting the inode. This is the same
problem that my previous patch titled
"Btrfs: fix inode eviction infinite loop after cloning into it" addressed
but for the extent_same ioctl instead of the clone ioctl.
