There are enough other changes that it probably needs a more accurate
commit log and subject, and TBH probably switch Colin to reported-by.

patch changelog goes under the "---" below, it shouldn't be part of the
commitlog, FYI.

a little odd to keep incrementing next_agindex when we really
only care that it's nonzero, right?

ok, so we deem this index as first_initialized, but:

...then it could fail.  Which is why the unwind loop at the end still
needs to check for (this) null pag, and skip if so.  In fact if you
ever get to that loop, I think it's guaranteed that the first time
through will find the null pag for this index and skip it.

It'd be a little nicer to move the first_initialized assignment down,
after it's actually /been/ allocated and initialized.

This patch also leaves this in place:

                if (xfs_buf_hash_init(pag))
                        goto out_unwind;
...
out_unwind:
        xfs_buf_hash_destroy(pag);
        kmem_free(pag);

so isn't this doing buf_hash_destroy on something that has failed to
init in the first place?  I have no idea if that's safe, but best to
just be clean about it.

In the big picture, there are 3 things happening in this loop that may
need to be unwound for this and/or prior pags on an error:

1) pag memory allocation
2) xfs_buf_hash_init
3) radix_tree_insert

For any given iteration through the loop, any of the above which succeed
must be unwound for /this/ pag, and then all prior initialized pags must
be unwound.  So I'd expect something like this, though please check the
details and adjust labels to your preference.  :)

	bool first_init_done = false;

        for (index = 0; index < agcount; index++) {
		if (pag exists)
			continue;

		allocate(pag)
		if (failure)
			goto unwind_prior_pags;

		xfs_buf_hash_init(pag)
		if (failure)
			goto free_pag;

		radix_tree_insert(pag)
		if (failure)
			goto hash_destroy;

		/* this pag is fully initialized now */
		if (!first_init_done) {
			first_initialized = index;
			first_init_done = true;
		}
	}

	/* unwind this pag on init failures */
hash_destroy:
	xfs_buf_hash_destroy(pag);
free_pag:
	kmem_free(pag);
unwind_prior_pags:
	/* back up to previous fully initialized pag and unwind it+prior */
	index--;
	for (; index >= first_initialised; index--) 
		pag = radix_tree_delete(index)
		xfs_buf_hash_destroy(pag)
		kmem_free(pag)

(don't make i an int if it's really supposed to be an xfs_agnumber_t,
which is unsigned)
