I'm not opposed to that in principle, but the right shift is a separate
invocation (at least in this incarnation) so it's of no consequence to
the left shift if we were to drop it here. As far as I can tell, it's
also broken in that if we ever were to hit it, it looks like it would
perform a left-shift-merge in the middle of a broader right-shift
sequence and probably corrupt the file and cause the insert range to
fail.

To fix it, I suspect we'd have to write a new helper to do the
right-shift-merge appropriately and then probably want a way to test it.
The only thing that comes to mind to accomplish that is to perhaps hook
up the bmap split mechanism to an XFS ioctl() such that it could be
invoked by xfs_io or some such tool. Unless I'm missing something,
that's a bunch of extra work to handle a condition that probably should
never occur.

As it is, I'd suggest we drop it, add a small comment as to why there's
no merge in that case, and perhaps consider an assert or warn_on_once
type sanity check should we come across something unexpected in this
codepath (like separate, but contiguous extents).

That sounds like a nice idea. If you start with 1 or some sufficiently
small number of extents, that should catch the inode format conversion
induced by insert range at some point.

It might also be interesting to consider following the insert range
sequence with collapse range of all/some of the previously inserted
ranges. That should give us some test coverage of the collapse extent
merge code, if we're lacking that right now.

Oh it's not a problem per se, just an aesthetic suggestion to reduce the
lines of code. The third parameter to xfs_trans_ijoin() accepts the lock
flags on the inode. This transfers ownership of the ilock to the
transaction. The result of this is that the transaction will unlock the
inode appropriately (on tp commit or cancel). Check out things like
xfs_create() for examples of this usage.

Here, we pass 0 to xfs_trans_ijoin() and unlock the inode explicitly,
which is a pattern more typical to tp code that requires the lock held
for more than just the tp or submits multiple transactions. E.g.,
xfs_itruncate_extents() is an example of this.

To do the former here, we'd just have to be careful that we don't lock
the inode and have error conditions that cancel the transaction before
the ilock has been transferred (or conversely, do not explicitly unlock
the inode after the lock has been transferred).
