May be if you switch to a version around 2.6.20 nearabout - it will
make it easier to understand the code. Prior to that the complete XFS
source code seemed like traversing through a lot of macros... I
started with 2.6.18 and it was really hard to understand from that
version...

I guess you missed something while reading the code.... I tried to
look at the repositry.. this is how the code looks...
#if XFS_WANT_FUNCS || (XFS_WANT_SPACE && XFSSO_XFS_IFORK_NEXTENTS)
int xfs_ifork_nextents(xfs_inode_t *ip, int w);
#define XFS_IFORK_NEXTENTS(ip,w) xfs_ifork_nextents(ip,w)
#else
#define XFS_IFORK_NEXTENTS(ip,w) XFS_CFORK_NEXTENTS(&ip->i_d, w)
#endif
....
#define XFS_CFORK_NEXTENTS(dcp,w) \
((w) == XFS_DATA_FORK ? (dcp)->di_nextents : (dcp)->di_anextents)
