Definitely looks like a bug, but what are the symptoms of it and how
did you find the problem? Is there any test case that demonstrates a
problem with the er_extcount being set incorrectly here?

count is declared as an int, whereas XFS_LINEAR_EXTS probably ends
up with a type of uint because of a cast in the macro. because we
are decrementing to zero, the count can be declared as a uint, too,
and the cast in the MIN() can go away. Indeed, MIN() should be
converted to min() seeing as we are touching the code here, and if
you want to retain the current types, the min_t() is appropriate,
not min(x, (some cast)y)....
Cheers,
Dave.
