I think we code do this a tad more cleaner, something like: diff --git a/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_da_btree.c b/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_da_btree.c index 875e04f82541..542a4edfcf54 100644 --- a/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_da_btree.c +++ b/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_da_btree.c @@ -1986,7 +1986,8 @@ xfs_da3_path_shift( ASSERT(path != NULL); ASSERT((path->active > 0) && (path->active < XFS_DA_NODE_MAXDEPTH)); level = (path->active-1) - 1; /* skip bottom layer in path */ - for (blk = &path->blk[level]; level >= 0; blk--, level--) { + for ( ; level >= 0; level--) { + blk = &path->blk[level]; xfs_da3_node_hdr_from_disk(dp->i_mount, &nodehdr, blk->bp->b_addr);
