ah, I would say it is intentional because the lookup cannot fail here. If we are committing an extent but cannot find it in client's extent cache, it certainly is a bug somewhere else. I remember there are other places like this in block layout code as well and we used to put a BUG_ON() there. But since we are using the pointer right away and crash on NULL pointer dereference anyway, it was suggested to remove these BUG_ON()s during code review.

Are you fixing this because you saw a crash or because some static code analyzer complains?

Thanks,
Tao
