From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx> In xfs_dir2_leaf_addname we ASSERT if the length of the unused space described by bestfree[0] is less the amount of space we wish to consume. Immediately after it is a call to xfs_dir2_data_use_free where the offset parameter is offset of the unused space and the length parameter is the amount of space we wish to consume. Both values (and the unused space pointer) are passed into xfs_dir2_data_check_free, which also validates that the region of unused space is big enough to cover the space we wish to consume. This is effectively the same check that the ASSERT covers, and since a check failure results in a corruption message being logged we can remove the ASSERT. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
