Sure, see below.

BTW, I'm about to go off grid for 1.5 weeks, so there will be no v3
coming from me anytime soon :-)

From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: [PATCH v2] bcachefs: Remove undefined behavior in bch2_dev_buckets_reserved()

In general it's a good idea to avoid using bare unreachable() because it
introduces undefined behavior in compiled code.  In this case it even
confuses GCC into emitting an empty unused
bch2_dev_buckets_reserved.part.0() function.

Use WARN_ON(1) instead, which is nice and defined.  While in theory it
should never trigger, if something were to go awry and the
BCH_WATERMARK_NR case were to actually hit, the failure mode is more
robust.

Fixes the following warnings:

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: bch2_bucket_alloc_trans() falls through to next function bch2_reset_alloc_cursors()
  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: bch2_dev_buckets_reserved.part.0() is missing an ELF size annotation
