Ok, xfs_trans_inode* is a namespace that belongs to
fs/xfs/xfs_trans_inode.c, not fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_inode_fork.c. So my
second observation is that the function needs either be renamed or
moved.

My first observation was that the function name didn't really make
any sense to me when read in context. xfs_iext_count_may_overflow()
makes sense because it's telling me that it's checking that the
extent count hasn't overflowed. xfs_trans_inode_ensure_nextents()
conveys none of that certainty.

What does it ensure? "ensure" doesn't imply we are goign to change
anything - it could just mean "check and abort if wrong" when read
as "ensure we haven't overflowed". And if we already have nrext64
and we've overflowed that then it will still fail, meaning we
haven't "ensured" anything.

This would make much more sense if written as:

	error = xfs_iext_count_may_overflow();
	if (error && error != -EOVERFLOW)
		goto out_trans_cancel;

	if (error == -EOVERFLOW) {
		error = xfs_inode_upgrade_extent_counts();
		if (error)
			goto out_trans_cancel;
	}

Because it splits the logic into a "do we need to do something"
part and a "do an explicit modification" part.

Oh, that's tricky, too. The first check returns if there's no error,
the second check returns the error of the first function. Keeping
the initial overflow check in the caller gets rid of this, too.

Why does this need to roll the transaction? We can just log the
inode core and return to the caller which will then commit the
change.

If the answer is so we don't cancel a dirty transaction here, then
I think this check needs to be more explicit - don't even try to do
the upgrade if the number of extents we are adding will cause an
overflow anyway.

As it is, wouldn't adding 2^47 - 2^31 extents in a single hit be
indicative of a bug? We can only modify the extent count by a
handful of extents (10, maybe 20?) at most in a single transaction,
so why do we even need this check?

Cheers,

Dave.
