Back in 88b8e1d6d7 ("Make xfs_metadump more robust against bad data"),
metadump grew the ability to ignore a directory extent if it was longer
than 20 blocks. Presumably this was to protect metadump from dumping
absurdly long extents resulting from bmbt corruption, but it's certainly
possible to create a directory with an extent longer than 20 blocks.
Hilariously, the discards happen with no warning unless the caller
explicitly set -w.
This was raised to 1000 blocks in 7431d134fe8 ("Increase default maximum
extent size for xfs_metadump when copying..."), but it's still possible
to create a directory with an extent longer than 1000 blocks.
Increase the threshold to MAXEXTLEN blocks because it's totally valid
for the filesystem to create extents up to that length.
