What does "order" mean to coverity? Is it really complaining about function parameters being ordered (src, dst) rather than (dst, src)? Or is it detecting that we are passing parameters names (dxxx, sxxx) into a function that declares those parameters (syyy, dyyy) and it throws based on that? In more detail, the function prototype is effectively xfs_dir3_leafn_moveents(source, destination, count), and so in both cases here objects are being moved from the block being dropped (freed) to the block being saved (merged block). What the xfs_dir2_leafn_order() call tells us is whether the objects in the drop block get inserted into the save block before or after the objects in the save block. i.e. if we are merging from the left or right sibling.... So I don't see that there's a problem here. > Is this intentional ? If so I'll mark it as such in their db. The code looks fine to me...
