[PATCH 2/4] ocfs2: remove empty extent list check in ocfs2_dx_dir_lookup_rec()
From: Joseph Qi
Date: Fri Apr 03 2026 - 05:10:44 EST
The full extent list check is introduced by commit 44acc46d182f, which
is to avoid NULL pointer dereference if a dirent is not found.
Reworking the error message to not reference rec. Instead, report
major_hash being looked up and l_next_free_rec, which naturally covers
both failure cases (empty extent list and no matching record) without
needing a separate l_next_free_rec == 0 guard.
