[PATCH v2 1/3] xfs: don't set bt_nr_sectors to a negative number
From: Darrick J. Wong
Date: Wed Oct 15 2025 - 01:01:34 EST
From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx>
xfs_daddr_t is a signed type, which means that xfs_buf_map_verify is
using a signed comparison. This causes problems if bt_nr_sectors is
never overridden (e.g. in the case of an xfbtree for rmap btree repairs)
because even daddr 0 can't pass the verifier test in that case.
Define an explicit max constant and set the initial bt_nr_sectors to a
positive value.
Found by xfs/422.
