xfs_dir2_block_compact() is passed a pointer to *blp, and advances it locally - but nobody uses the pointer (locally) after that. This behavior came about as part of prior refactoring, 20f7e9f xfs: factor dir2 block read operations and looking at the code as it was before, it seems quite clear that this change introduced a bug; the pre-refactoring code expects blp to be modified after compaction. And indeed it did; see this commit which fixed it: 37f1356 xfs: recalculate leaf entry pointer after compacting a dir2 block So the bug was introduced & resolved in the 3.8 cycle. Whoops. Well, it's fixed now, and mystery solved; just remove the now-pointless local increment of the blp pointer. (I guess we should have run clang earlier!)
