Effectively. xfs_inobt_insert() becomes:

	for (each inode chunk) {
		xfs_inobt_lookup(cur, startino)
		xfs_inobt_insert_rec(cur, startino, free, free_count)
	}

And this code becomes:

	xfs_inobt_lookup(cur, startino);
	if (!found) {
		if (free_count == 1)
			xfs_inobt_insert_rec(cur, startino, free, free_count)
		else
			CORRUPTION
		goto out;
	}

Yes, it would. I think just using helpers like this is sufficient
for the two different cases, especially as xfs_inobt_insert() needs
to be able to handle multiple chunk insertion and we don't have that
here...

No worries. BTW, can you post your rudimentary userspace support so
we can run tests that use this code, too?

Cheers,

Dave.
