BBTOB(bp->b_length)
This is all terrible numbering on my part...

xfs_dir2_data_log_unused() calls xfs_trans_log_buf() twice in the same
function. #1 is the first call, #2 is the second call, and there's no
running count. The printk() is a copy-and-paste of those two function
calls plus a BBTOB(bp->b_length) below it.

The #5 was caused by numbering all the calls to
xfs_dir2_data_log_unused() to see if one code path was being called
every time. #5 is in the xfs_dir2_data_use_free() function, starting
with this else-if...
else if (matchfront) {
newdup = (xfs_dir2_data_unused_t *)((char *)hdr + offset + len);
newdup->freetag = cpu_to_be16(XFS_DIR2_DATA_FREE_TAG);
newdup->length = cpu_to_be16(oldlen - len);
*xfs_dir2_data_unused_tag_p(newdup) =
cpu_to_be16((char *)newdup - (char *)hdr);
printk( KERN_INFO "#5 calling xfs_dir2_data_log_unused() %d %d\n", oldlen, len );
xfs_dir2_data_log_unused(tp, bp, newdup);
Sorry about that!
Michael
