It cannot return 4k-1m since the writeback for the first page has
already dealt with this range. Also take a look in writepage_delalloc
how find_lock_delalloc_range is called : for 'start' it's passed the
page offset, calculated in __extent_writepage. And when
find_delalloc_range is called it just searches for an extent which ends
after passed start value. In find_delalloc_range first tree_search
is called which returns the 1m-128m range, then we go in the while(1)
loop on the first itertaion found is 0 so *end is populated with 128m ,
found is set to 1 and *start is set to 1m.
On the second iteration the check if (found && (state->start !=
cur_start || (state->state & EXTENT_BOUNDARY)))
is triggered since the next extent found will have EXTENT_BOUNDARY since
it will be the next block group from relocation. EXTENT_BOUNDARY will be
set from relocate_file_extent_cluster' main loop:
if (nr < cluster->nr &&
page_start + offset == cluster->boundary[nr]) {
set_extent_bits(&BTRFS_I(inode)->io_tree,
page_start, page_end,
EXTENT_BOUNDARY);
nr++;
