Make ext4_ext_split() get extents to be moved by calculating in a statement
instead of counting in a loop.

So the old code mutates path[i].p_idx, where as your new code doesn't.
The one thing that scares me is that ext4_ext_insert_index() is passed
&path[at], the function preferences path[at].p_idx.

Have you looked at this case?

Hi Ted,

Thank you for your review.  I had looked at this case.

> So the old code mutates path[i].p_idx, where as your new code doesn't.
path[i]p_idx is mutated to EXT_MAX_INDEX(path[i].p_hdr) + 1, it is
meaningless.  ext4_ext_split() is used only by
ext4_ext_create_new_leaf() which drops the path after ext4_ext_split()
returns, so the path[i].p_idx is no longer used.

> The one thing that scares me is that ext4_ext_insert_index() is passed

ext4_ext_split() insert k indexes, where k = depth - at -1, starting
from depth - 1 to depth - 1 - k + 1 = depth - k = at + 1.

So old code does not mutate depth[at].p_idx.

I had tested the patch with fsx.  I am not sure if this test is
enough.  If you want more tests, I can do it.

Thanks,
Yongqiang.

OK, thanks for the explanation.  Sometimes testing doesn't find
problems, so I try to understand the patch and make sure it is sane.
I noticed that your path[i].p_ext and path[i].p_idx were no longer
being updated with your patch; I was able to convince myself that
p_ext didn't matter, but I wasn't entirely sure about p_idx, so that's
why I asked you.

I've added it to the ext4 dev tree.
