hmmmm. So you reimplemented:

#define BMBT_BLOCKCOUNT_MASK    ((1ULL << BMBT_BLOCKCOUNT_BITLEN) - 1)

and defined it as XFS_MAX_EXTLEN?

One of these two defines needs to go away. :)

Also, this macro really defines the maximum extent length a BMBT
record can hold, not the maximum XFS extent length supported. I
think it should be  named XFS_BMBT_MAX_EXTLEN and also used to
replace BMBT_BLOCKCOUNT_MASK.

The counter example are free space btree records - they can hold
extents lengths up to 2^31 blocks long:

typedef struct xfs_alloc_rec {
        __be32          ar_startblock;  /* starting block number */
        __be32          ar_blockcount;  /* count of free blocks */
} xfs_alloc_rec_t, xfs_alloc_key_t;

So, yes, I think MAXEXTLEN needs cleaning up, but it needs some more
work to make it explicit in what it refers to.

Also:

At the end of the patch series, I still really don't like these
names. Hungarian notation is ugly, and they don't tell me what type
they apply to. Hence I don't know what limit is the correct one to
apply to which fork and which format....

These would be much better as

#define XFS_MAX_EXTCNT_DATA_FORK	((1ULL < 48) - 1)
#define XFS_MAX_EXTCNT_ATTR_FORK	((1ULL < 32) - 1)

#define XFS_MAX_EXTCNT_DATA_FORK_OLD	((1ULL < 31) - 1)
#define XFS_MAX_EXTCNT_ATTR_FORK_OLD	((1ULL < 15) - 1)

The name tells me what object/format they apply to, and the
implementation tells me the exact size without needing a comment
to make it readable. And it doesn't need casts that just add noise
to the implementation...

Cheers,

Dave.
