Suppose xas is pointing somewhere near the end of the multi-entry batch. Then it may happen that the computed slot already falls beyond the batch, thus breaking the loop due to !xa_is_sibling(), and computing the wrong order. For example, suppose we have a shift-6 node having an order-9 entry => 8 - 1 = 7 siblings, so assume the slots are at offset 0 till 7 in this node. If xas->xa_offset is 6, then the code will compute order as 1 + xas->xa_node->shift = 7. Therefore, the order computation must start from the beginning of the multi-slot entries, that is, the non-sibling entry. Thus ensure that the caller is aware of this by triggering a BUG when the entry is a sibling entry. Note that this BUG_ON() is only active while running selftests, so there is no overhead in a running kernel.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
